Do I need additional documents for emergency passports renewal?
Emergency passports renewal is also known as “emergency travel documents”, and can be applied if you cannot get a new passport on time. They are often used by British citizens who are stranded outside the British, who lost their passports, or have been stolen. Passports take weeks to be given or updated, so these documents are very important for an emergency.
Please note that emergency travel documents usually cannot be given if you have never had a British passport before. To get an emergency travel document, you will need the following documents …
- Proof of your travel plan, for example ordering confirmation
- Detailed description of where you plan to travel and when
- Whatever documents are needed for the country where you are
- If you are stranded in another country without a passport, you might need to visit the British embassy or consulate.
- “Emergency Passport renewal” can also refer to people in the UK who need to get the right passport immediately. This is a separate thing from an emergency travel document. You can apply for a passport immediately if you need to travel for loving reasons (e.g. funeral), immediately travel to work, or really need a passport to prove your identity.
