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.

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.

Switzerland permits dual nationality, so some British residents also hold a Swiss passport. Even so, a Swiss passport does not stand in for a British one when you travel to the UK. Since 25 February 2026, British and Irish citizens cannot get a UK ETA. We confirm whether any other documents are needed and check that your name matches across everything before submission.

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.
