At ASAP Passports, our mission is simple – to get your passport renewed as quickly as you can get your old one to us. We take care of everything for you, managing the process online from start to finish.

Once we’ve received your old passport, one of our consultants will personally fast-track your renewal application through the HMPO, making sure it skips the queue and doesn’t get caught in processing delays.

Your old passport will be sent back alongside your new one, and we’ll make sure you have full tracking every step of the way. No guesswork, no hassle – just your new passport arriving safely at your door with as little stress as possible.

Requirements & Eligibility for UK Passport Renewal from New Zealand

Are you a British citizen with a passport that’s expired or nearing its expiry date while in New Zealand? Don’t panic – ASAP Passports can help you renew it from anywhere in the world. All we need from you is your expiring or expired passport and a completed application form, which we’ll send your way as soon as you select and purchase your preferred renewal package from our website. You’ll also need to send new passport photos that match the UK requirements, but you can do this from your smartphone within seconds!

It’s important to note that we do need your old passport to move forward with the renewal, as the HMPO requires it to officially cancel before issuing a new one. However, if your passport has been lost, stolen, or if you’ve never held an adult passport before, don’t stress – all hope is not lost. Our team of specialists is on hand to guide you through the right steps with tailored advice and help you gather the necessary documents to get things back on track. Whatever the situation, we’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re holding a brand new passport in your hands as quickly as possible.

Here at ASAP Passports, we pride ourselves on our process, which has been designed to be as straightforward and efficient as possible – no unnecessary paperwork or time-consuming steps required. We’ll handle everything we can online, cutting down on admin so you can focus on getting your new passport sorted without the hassle. In most cases, the only things we’ll need from you are:

If your passport has been lost or stolen, you’ll also need to complete an LS01 form. One of our experts will be able to help you access this and guide you through what’s needed to move forward if you need any assistance. Occasionally, additional documents might be requested, such as proof of a name change or other supporting paperwork. We review all of your paperwork before sending it to the HMPO, so if we spot any missing information we’ll ask you to send it to us as soon as possible so we can tie everything in a nice bow before submitting it.

When you’re in New Zealand and suddenly find yourself without a valid passport, ASAP Passports is ready to step in with a service designed to cut down your wait time by up to 80%. Instead of the usual 10-week turnaround, we aim to get your renewed passport back to you in just 2 weeks. And if we don’t deliver on that promise, we’ll send your money right on back.

What sets us apart from the crowd, and gives you more incentive to trust us, is the way we handle every step of your application with care and precision. No endless back and forth, no frustrating rejections, and no overlooked details. We’ll personally lodge your application with the UK passport office and keep a close eye on its progress, making sure it doesn’t get buried in a backlog. One of our team members will even collect your passport directly once it’s ready and get it sent straight back to you within as little time as possible.

We also believe in transparency and staying connected. You’ll have full tracking access for your passport’s journey, plus open communication with our expert team at every stage. And if you’re still not sure whether we’re the right fit? Take a look at the glowing reviews from travellers we’ve helped as proof of the care and commitment we bring to every case. When you work with ASAP Passports, you’re not just a number in a system – you’re a priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

Faqs Image

Eligibility FAQs

Can I renew my British passport in New Zealand?

Yes, you can renew your British passport from New Zealand as long as you are a UK citizen. This can be done through the HMPO, and applications are processed in the UK – which can extend wait times and increase the chances of shipping delays. APAP Passports is an effective way of renewing UK passport from NZ without shipping couriers letting you down.

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

When working with ASAP Passports, all you need to renew your British passport is your old passport (even if it’s expired) and a new UK passport photo which has been taken within the last month or so. Our team of experts goes through every single application before submitting them to the HMPO, so we’ll let you know if we think anything is missing.

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

No. ASAP Passports handle the bulk of the liaising with the HMPO on your behalf, so there’s no need for you to book any appointments while you’re in New Zealand.

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

Yes, the process is more or less the same. The biggest difference is the wait times as these tend to be influenced by shipping delays. Working with ASAP Passports allows you to bypass these, cutting the processing time down by 80%.

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

You can either choose to renew your British passport through the UK Government website and follow the prompts you find there with little to no assistance, or you can work with ASAP Passports where we’ll give you all the expert advice we have. Simply select one of our service packages and we’ll handle the rest!

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

Yes. The HMPO requires you to send your old passport in with your application for a new one so they can cancel it before issuing it. We will send you an express shipping label to get this back to the UK as quickly as possible.

Can I keep my existing passport when renewing from New Zealand?

No, unfortunately not. The HMPO will keep this while they issue your new passport, but they’ll release it once they’re done with it. This means that when we send your new passport to your New Zealand address, we’ll also throw your old one in, too.

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

The process for a child’s UK passport renewal is slightly different to that of an adult passport. This is because extra things are often needed, such as parental consent. However, we’ll work through the new process with you to keep it as simple as possible, removing any stress that comes with the different requirements.

When should I renew a British passport in New Zealand?

Most countries are now requiring you to have six months validity on your British passport to prevent it from expiring while you’re out of the country, so to be safe, we’d recommend renewing your old passport as soon as possible once you hit the six months left mark. However, in a pinch, ASAP Passports can help you renew your passport within as little as two weeks.

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

On average, the HMPO recommends waiting 10 weeks for your renewed passport to be sent back to you. This can vary depending on demand and postal services, though, which is why more and more people are choosing to work with ASAP Passports. We can cut this time down to just two weeks!

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

Your new passport will be delivered by secure international courier directly to your nominated New Zealand address as soon as we possibly can. As soon as we pick it up from the HMPO, sending it out to you becomes our priority. We’ll then send you all the tracking information so you can follow its journey from start to finish.

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

Unfortunately not, as fast track services are only available within the UK. However, using a service such as ASAP Passports is a way to bypass this and enjoy the fast track process, expediting your application to cut down on shipping times and delays.

What is the cost of renewing a UK passport from New Zealand?

ASAP Passports offer four personalised service packages, which all come with tiered pricing. This keeps you in control of what you pay and avoids the risk of hidden costs along the way. All of our packages cover the HMPO costs, along with shipping fees, expert handling, and more.

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

Our relationship with our clients is of the utmost importance to us, which is why we don’t try and hide any fees throughout our process. Everything is included in our one-time fee, and once this is settled, we’ll jump straight into getting your new passport issued.

What payment methods are accepted for passport renewals from New Zealand?

We accept all major credit and debit cards through our secure online service. Once this has gone through, we’ll send you your application form to fill out.

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

Our team of experts does everything in their power to avoid your application being rejected from the HMPO. However, in the rare case that this does happen and it pushes your wait time over our two-week guarantee, we’ll send you a full refund.

What are the photo requirements when renewing my UK passport from New Zealand?

Photos must be clear, in colour, against a plain light background, and follow HM Passport Office’s digital photo standards. You can read up on these here.

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

Yes. As long as they meet the UK government’s digital photo guidelines for size, quality, and lighting, we recommend digital passport photos to cut down on wait times.

Where can I have passport-compliant photographs taken in New Zealand?

Many pharmacies, photo booths, and photography studios offer UK passport-compliant photos. Just make them meet HMPO requirements, as professionals in New Zealand might not be well acquainted with these.

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

You can still renew online, though HMPO may request extra identification documents or information if the passport’s been expired for a long time.

What should I do if my name has changed since my last UK passport was issued?

You’ll need to supply official documentation like a marriage certificate, deed poll, or divorce decree with your application. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know before submitting your application.

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

Yes. You’ll need an LS01 form, but you can apply for a new British passport renewal through a similar process. If you need help, we’re happy to walk you through it to make sure you’re not without a passport for too long. Damaged passports will need to be sent into the HMPO with your application.

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

No, dual citizenship status doesn’t affect your eligibility or the application process for renewing a UK passport from New Zealand.
