Requirements & eligibility for UK passport renewal from France

To use ASAP passports for your UK passport renewal from France, you need to meet a few requirements. You will need to:

We can offer help if you have now changed your name, but we will require more information from you. The same applies if you have a lost or stolen passport. We will need you to provide us with more documents and complete a lost/stolen declaration. The process is easy, with our customer service team guiding you.

For your UK passport renewal, we require your expired or expiring passport. You will need to post the original passport to us, rather than any photocopies. We will also need a new passport photo, which you can take with your phone and upload as part of your online application. Your application form will contain all the information we need, without needing to supply us with any additional documents.

In some cases, if your name is different to that on your expired passport, we will require additional documentation to confirm your new name. Typically, a marriage or deed poll certificate is accepted for this.

ASAP Passports are experienced at handling the impossible task of getting you a new passport quickly. The hands-on approach, where we deliver your application to the Passport Office and keep you updated during the entire process, will put your mind at ease and assure you that you will get your passport when you need it.

We work quickly, submitting your application as soon as your passport arrives from France and sending your new passport to you quickly. We pride ourselves on a stress-free process that offers 90% faster passport renewals than submitting them directly to the Passport Office, ensuring that you can make your next holiday or trip to the UK.
