To meet our eligibility for a UK passport renewal in Italy, you will need to be a British citizen living or staying in Italy and hold an expired or expiring British passport.

To apply for your UK passport renewal in Italy, you need to provide the following:

If you have lost or had your passport stolen, you will need to complete a stolen/lost passport declaration (LS01) form and include this with your application.

Eligibility FAQs

Can I renew my British passport in Italy?

As a British citizen, you can renew your passport when living or staying in Italy. At ASAP Passports, we can handle the renewal process without you needing to wait months or fly back to the UK for in-person appointments.

What documents do I need to renew my UK passport from Italy?

To renew your UK passport in Italy, you will need your current passport, even if it has expired, a new passport photograph, and proof of any name changes. In cases where your passport is lost or stolen, an LSO1 form must be completed.

Do I need to visit the British consulate or embassy in Italy to renew my passport?

You are not required to visit the British embassy or consulate in Italy to renew your passport. As we handle the process for you, no in-person appointments are needed to get your passport.

Is renewing my passport from Italy the same as renewing it in the UK?

There is a slight difference when renewing your passport in Italy, and that is the time it takes. Passport renewal overseas is a long process, with an average wait time of ten weeks. By using our express service, you can reduce this time dramatically and get your new passport in just two weeks without needing to attend any face-to-face appointments.

How do I apply to renew my UK passport online from Italy?

To apply to renew your UK passport online, you need to select your package level and pay for it with us. You will then complete an application form and include an updated passport photo to be used. After you have returned your old passport to us, we will expedite your application, deliver it to the passport office, and chase it until your new passport is complete. Once it is ready, we collect it and post it to you in Italy.

Do I need to send my old UK passport when renewing in Italy?

Yes, we require you to send us your old UK passport when renewing it in Italy. The original copy must be sent to us before your application can be processed. We will provide you with a shipping label that allows you to quickly and securely post your passport to us.

Can I keep my existing passport when renewing from Italy?

No, we will need your existing passport as part of your renewal process. We require you to send in your existing passport, even if it has expired, as this is sent to the Passport Office along with your application. Once our renewal is processed, your original passport will be returned to you, with the corner cut, indicating it is no longer a valid form of ID.

Is there a different process for child passport renewals compared to adult passports?

Applying for a child’s passport renewal is slightly different from that of an adult. A child passport renewal requires parental consent and additional documentation. This makes the application form a little longer, but we can still process your child’s passport renewal quickly. Our team can guide you through child passport renewals, which must be renewed every five years for children under sixteen.

When should I renew a British passport in Italy?

Ideally, you should renew your British passport in Italy when you have six months left before it expires. Most countries do not allow you entry if you have less than six months on your passport, so it’s best to renew it sooner to avoid disappointment with your travel plans. However, you can leave it longer and renew your passport in Italy after it has expired, using our express service to have your new passport delivered in just two weeks.

How long does it take to renew a British passport in Italy?

It can take up to 10 weeks to renew a British passport in Italy. By using our express service, you can shave weeks off the process and have your renewed passport delivered in just two weeks.

How and when will my renewed passport be delivered to me in Italy?

Your passport will be sent to you in Italy with one of our global couriers. We use our network of global air freight couriers to ensure your new passport reaches you quickly. We offer a turnaround time of two weeks, and all of our passports are sent with full tracking information, making it easy for you to track their journey.

Can I request express or expedited processing for my passport renewal?

We offer an express service where we can renew your passport within two weeks. Our service is designed for British citizens, helping you to renew your passport quickly without heading to the Passport Office for an in-person appointment.

What is the cost of renewing a UK passport from Italy?

The cost of renewing your UK passport from Italy will depend on the service package you choose from us. We offer two packages with different timeframes, our Gold Package, which guarantees your passport within two weeks, and our VIP Platinum package, which puts your order at the top of our priority list. The VIP package is more expensive, but comes with additional features like frequent contact and additional personalised support. We recommend checking the packages that we offer here for accurate prices.

Are there any additional costs for renewing a UK passport from Italy?

There are no additional costs when reviewing your UK passport from Italy. The initial price for our passport renewal process includes all the admin and other fees you would incur, so there are no hidden or surprise costs after you make your payment.

What payment methods are accepted for passport renewals from Italy?

Payment for your passport renewal is taken up front through our secure payment window online. We accept most credit and debit cards, allowing you to easily pay.

Will I get a refund if my passport renewal application is rejected?

We work very hard to ensure that your passport renewal application will not be rejected. Our team carefully review your application before sending it to the passport Office, reducing errors and delays in your application. We do guarantee that you will have your new passport within two weeks, and if you do not, we will offer a full refund.

What are the photo requirements for renewing my UK passport from Italy?

Your photo requirements for passport photos are the same in Italy as if you were applying for your passport in the UK. Your passport photo needs to be clear, with your head in focus against a plain background. You must be looking straight ahead, with your mouth closed and not smiling. You must ensure that nothing is covering your face, with the exception of religious coverings and glasses, where they are necessary.

The image must be the right size too, at least 600 pixels wide and 750 pixels tall. You can learn more about the requirements for UK passport photos on the government website before taking your photos.

Can I use digital passport photos taken at home when renewing from Italy?

Yes, you can use digital passport photos taken at home to renew your passport from Italy. We recommend this method as it is the quickest and will allow you to instantly upload your photos to your application form. When using passport photos taken from home, make sure your photo meets the requirements.

Where can I have passport-compliant photographs taken in Italy?

Passport-compliant photos can be taken at the consulate, professional photography studios, and online photo services in Italy. Many larger stores or pharmacies will offer passport photo services, either as a self-service machine or with a professional. When having your passport-compliant photographs taken in Italy, make sure that they meet the UK requirements, as each country has slightly different passport photo requirements.

How do I renew my passport if it has expired for several years?

For a passport that has expired for less than ten years, you can renew it as you would normally, by completing your application form and attaching a new passport photo. If your passport has expired for ten years or more, you will need to apply for a new passport, rather than renewing it. We can help you with this, but you will need to fill out an application to apply for a new passport. Our team of experts can help you with this if needed.

What should I do if my name changes after my last UK passport was issued?

If your name has changed since your last passport was issued, you will need to tell us. You can make this clear on your application form and send proof of this name change. Typically, we accept marriage certificates, divorce decrees, and deed poll as proof of your new name. With this confirmation, we can ensure your passport arrives with your new name.

Can I renew my UK passport from Italy if it’s damaged, lost, or stolen?

You can renew a UK passport from Italy if it is lost, stolen, or damaged, but we may require some additional information from you. Damaged passports can make it tricky to confirm your identity, so we may ask for additional identification, like another form of ID. For lost or stolen passports, you will need to complete a lost/stolen declaration form (LS01) and include this with your application for a new passport.

Are there different requirements for renewing a UK passport if I’m a dual citizen (UK-Italy)?

There are no different requirements when renewing a UK passport as a dual citizen, but you will need to make it clear on your application form that you have dual citizenship. Make sure that you include all relevant information about your dual citizenship and continue to use both passports as you normally do.
