Renew from where you live
Choose your country guide
The renewal service is worldwide. These guides explain collection, local document considerations and the application journey from the countries we support most often.
This service is for British citizens living overseas who need to renew an expired or expiring UK passport without returning to the UK.
Travel booked? Visa or residency riding on a valid passport? A dual citizen who can no longer count on your other passport at the UK border? This is built for exactly that moment.
Prepare your application
What you need to renew your UK passport from overseas
For a straightforward adult renewal, most of the work begins with four things. We confirm anything additional before submission.
Step 1
Your current or expired UK passport
Send it even if it expired many years ago. HM Passport Office uses your previous passport to verify your identity and passport history.
Step 2
A digital passport photo
Upload a recent digital photo through the guided application. We check it against UK passport standards before anything is submitted.
Step 3
Any supporting evidence your case requires
Name changes, dual citizenship or unusual passport history can require additional evidence. We identify what applies to your case before submission.
Step 4
An address DHL Express can collect from
DHL Express can collect your passport and documents where required, or you can use the prepaid drop-off option we provide.
The promise
The full refund guarantee
For eligible VIP adult renewals, your renewed passport is back with you in 2 weeks or less from document collection, or you receive a full refund. Eligible Gold renewals are 3 weeks or less on the same terms.
↻The clock starts when DHL Express collects your complete document pack and/or passport, not when you pay online. So you always know exactly where you stand.

Why ASAP exists
Why we can renew from overseas this fast
HM Passport Office's own fast-track service is only available inside the UK. That is the gap ASAP exists to close: there is no urgent option for British citizens applying from abroad.
A standard overseas application is slow for two reasons. You are not in the UK to move it along, and most delays start in the application pack itself: wrong photo, missing evidence, mismatched names, the wrong service chosen at the outset.
We deal with both. Our team pre-checks every element of the file before HM Passport Office sees it, then physically collect your passport from the Passport Office before securely returning it to you via DHL Express.
You stay overseas. Your renewal is handled in the UK by people who do this every day.

Travel rule
Travel-rule warning for British citizens overseas
British citizen or dual national travelling to the UK? You may not be able to rely on a foreign passport alone. If your UK passport is expired, very old, lost, damaged or never applied for, you risk problems at check-in or boarding. ASAP can help you get your UK passport fast from overseas.
“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.”

What is included
Your price covers everything: our fee, HM Passport Office's fees, DHL Express collection and worldwide return delivery. No hidden charges. And no return flights, hotel nights or days off work to sort it yourself in the UK.
Additional costs apply only where official evidence needs to be obtained for you, such as a replacement birth certificate or marriage certificate. We tell you first and quote before anything is spent.

One renewal service, wherever you live
ASAP Passports supports British citizens in Australia, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, the UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Africa, across Europe and worldwide. The service itself does not depend on having a country guide.
If your country is not listed above, use the worldwide renewal options on this page or ask us to confirm DHL Express collection from your address. Your eligibility and service tier depend on your passport history, not the country in which you live.

Not travelling soon? A standard non-urgent renewal option from £399 may be available. It runs on the standard HM Passport Office timeline and is not the service most overseas applicants need.
How fast can I renew my UK passport from overseas?+
VIP adult renewals: 2 weeks or less, guaranteed, from the moment DHL Express collects your document pack. Gold: 3 weeks or less, guaranteed. We confirm your eligibility before you pay. Apply directly from overseas instead, and you can wait considerably longer with nobody in the UK moving it along.
What happens if my last passport was issued before 2002?+
You do not qualify for VIP. If it was issued between 1994 and 2001, Gold applies at £799, 3 weeks or less, guaranteed. If it was issued before 1994, or your passport history is unclear, it is treated as a first-time application at £1,499, around 4 weeks on a best-endeavours basis.
Do I still need to send my old passport if it expired years ago?+
Yes. HM Passport Office uses your previous passport to help verify your identity and passport history, even if it expired years ago. We return it to you along with your new one.
When does the 2-week guarantee start?+
When DHL Express collects your complete document pack and/or passport from you. It does not start at payment if your documents have not yet been provided.
What if I am a dual citizen and have been travelling on my other passport?+
If you are a British citizen or dual national travelling to the UK, you may not be able to rely on a foreign passport alone. Start the renewal before you travel rather than discovering the problem at check-in. We will also confirm whether any of your foreign documents are needed for the application.
My name has changed since my last passport. Can I still use this service?+
A name or details change is its own service rather than a renewal, because passports cannot be amended — a new one has to be issued. It is £799, 3 weeks or less, guaranteed. See name or details change.
What if my passport was lost, stolen or damaged rather than expired?+
That is our replacement service: £799, 3 weeks or less, guaranteed, where your last UK passport was issued from 2002 onwards. See replace a lost, stolen or damaged passport.
Are you GOV.UK or HM Passport Office?+
No. ASAP Passports is an independent UK company and a registered UK passport agent. Your passport is still issued by HM Passport Office. We check your documents before submission, work directly with HM Passport Office to facilitate your application, and coordinate secure return delivery.
What is included in the price, and are there extras?+
Everything: the ASAP service fee, HM Passport Office fees, DHL Express collection, secure air freight and return delivery. Extra costs arise only where official evidence has to be obtained for you, such as a replacement birth certificate, and we always quote before spending anything.
Can I renew my UK passport from any country?+
The managed renewal service is available worldwide, subject to DHL Express collection and delivery coverage at your address. You do not need a dedicated country guide to use the service.
What if my country is not listed?+
Use the worldwide renewal options on this page or contact us with your address. We will confirm collection and return availability before you proceed.
Do I need to fly to the UK to use the two-week service?+
No. You remain overseas while we check the application, coordinate document collection, manage the UK-side process and return your new passport by DHL Express. The two-week guarantee applies only to eligible VIP adult renewals and starts when DHL Express collects your complete document pack and/or passport.
