British Passport Application

If you are a British citizen by birth, registration, or naturalisation, you are eligible to apply for a British passport. A British passport allows you to travel internationally and confirms your legal right to live and work in the UK.

At Premium Solicitors, our specialist immigration and nationality lawyers in London and Birmingham can assist you with your first-time British passport application, passport renewals, or replacements for lost/stolen passports. We ensure your application is accurate, complete, and compliant with all legal requirements.

If you are applying for your first adult passport, you may be required to attend an identity interview to confirm your identity. This is not required for renewals.

Our specialist team of immigration solicitors can help you with your application for a first British passport as a child or adult, an application for renewal of your British passport, and provide legal representation for a pending application for a British passport if your application raises complex legal issues.
