First adult British passport
Born in Australia with British parents or family history, but never held a UK passport? ASAP checks the evidence, handles the forms and manages the UK-side process.
Independent managed service. Not GOV.UK or HM Passport Office.
Charlotte did not realise that her family history could mean she was entitled to a British passport. ASAP identified what she needed through her parents, told her which documents to find and handled the forms.
I didn’t have to figure out anything. ASAP Passports made it so easy.
Charlotte’s result is her individual experience. Current timing for first passports is around four weeks on a best-endeavours basis and is not guaranteed.
Charlotte’s first-passport story is personal. These public Google reviews show the broader service experience: clear guidance, responsive people and managed support across Australia and overseas.
“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.”
“I needed my passport renewed urgently. I spoke with the British Embassy, they offered no support or options. I found ASAP, I had my passport back from Australia in 10 days. Over the moon with the service.”
“Karen was excellent from start to finish. The service was professional, efficient, and took all the stress out of what can be quite a complicated passport process. At first, it might seem a little on the pricey side, but it was absolutely worth every cent.”
“My partner’s dad is British, we had plans to travel back to his family in the UK this March. We read about the recent changes and needed to apply for his British passport. We spoke ASAP, they helped us collect his parent’s marriage certificate and brith records. It will be a couple weeks and we’ll have his first British passport.”
“Wonderful service! I am so grateful. They helped me when I had a tight deadline. Quick response, clear instructions, kind, efficient, and excellent communication at every step. Received my passport in good time and zero problems. V impressed. Thank you so much.”
“Karen at ASAP Passports was so amazing helping me get everthing I needed to organize my passport. Any questions I had were answered promptly and professionally. It was a very positive experience. Would definatley recommend them to others.”

Citizenship law is detailed. These are useful starting points, not a decision on your status.
Born here.
British by family history.
You may be British by descent. The parent’s birthplace, citizenship and your date of birth need checking.
That family connection may matter, but it is not automatic. ASAP traces the family line and identifies the evidence required.
That is common. Your names across Australian and British evidence must still align before submission.
Not sure? If citizenship is genuinely uncertain rather than simply undocumented, ASAP tells you early, before taking payment for the wrong service.
Ask about my family historyA first passport has no existing British passport record. HM Passport Office may ask for more evidence, so no agent can honestly guarantee the timing.
First applications are most often delayed because names, certificates or family links do not align. ASAP checks the evidence chain before submission.
The long-form certificate showing your parents, not the short extract.
Birth certificates and, where relevant, marriage certificates that connect the descent chain.
Marriage certificates, deed polls or other records that bridge every spelling or name change.
Checked before submission so an avoidable photo issue does not hold up the application.
A location from which DHL Express can collect documents when physical evidence is required.
If an official certificate is missing, replacement evidence may cost extra. Any additional cost is quoted before the evidence is ordered.
Six clear steps, with the difficult evidence and UK-side coordination handled for you.

Call from Australia+44 800 774 7666The current service estimate is around four weeks on a best-endeavours basis. It is not guaranteed because a first application has no existing passport record and HM Passport Office may ask for more evidence. ASAP will tell you honestly whether your travel date looks realistic.
You may already be a British citizen by descent, but the answer depends on where and when you and your parent were born, and your parent’s status at the time. ASAP checks the history and evidence rather than asking you to assume.
A grandparent can be relevant, but it does not automatically mean that every applicant is entitled. Your parent’s citizenship, birthplace and dates matter. The evidence should be reviewed before an application is submitted.
ASAP can help identify and obtain replacement official evidence where possible. Any additional retrieval cost is quoted before money is spent.
The £1,499 all-inclusive managed-service price covers the end-to-end passport support listed on this page. A separate card fee imposed by the payment provider is disclosed at secure checkout before you pay.
No. ASAP Passports is an independent UK company and registered passport agent. It is not GOV.UK or HM Passport Office. HM Passport Office remains the passport issuer; ASAP manages the evidence and process as a paid commercial service.
