“When the recent UK entry rules changed for people who have dual citizenship, weeks before we were due to travel, we knew we would be at risk of not having a British passport in time. We googled and found ASAP passports. We enquired online and within a couple of hours Jacob called us, despite it being well after business hours. He was thorough, informative and empathetic to our situation. He talked us through the options and after we decided to move forward, he supported us through the process (including finding old expired passport history, birth certificates etc). Jacob kept us updated the whole way and even after the passport was delivered he checked in to make sure all was ok. Customer service is often non existent these days even when paying a premium, but in this instance the expense was 100% worth it. Highly recommend.”

Special Situation FAQs
How do I renew my passport if it has been expired for several years?+

Issued between 1994 and 2001: Gold applies, 3 weeks or less, guaranteed. Issued before 1994, or the history cannot be linked clearly: treated as a first-time application at £1,499, around 4 weeks, best endeavours.
What should I do if my name has changed since my last UK passport was issued?+
A name change is its own service rather than a renewal, because a passport cannot be amended. A new one has to be issued. It is £799, 3 weeks or less, guaranteed, with marriage certificate, deed poll or divorce decree as evidence. See name or details change.
Can I renew my UK passport from Spain if it's damaged, lost, or stolen?+
That requires our replacement service rather than a renewal: £799, 3 weeks or less, guaranteed, where your last UK passport was issued from 2002 onwards. You will need to report the passport lost or stolen so it can be cancelled, which we guide you through.
Are there different requirements for renewing a UK passport if I'm a dual citizen (UK-Spain)?+
As a British citizen you are entitled to renew your UK passport regardless of also holding Spanish citizenship. We confirm whether any Spanish documents are needed and check that your name matches across both. Since 25 February 2026, British and Irish citizens cannot get a UK ETA, so you are expected to prove your citizenship with a valid British passport.
When does the guarantee start?+
From DHL Express collection of your complete, correct document pack to the first attempted delivery of your new passport. The courier journey is included: eligible VIP adult renewals are 2 weeks or less, and eligible Gold renewals are 3 weeks or less.
