Your child’s first passport in the post

Any UK citizen, including infants and newborn babies, needs to have a passport in their own name before they travel.
Children up to the age of 16 should travel on a child’s passport. Over the age of 16 a full adult passport is required.

Note: between the ages of 12 and 15, the child should sign the declaration (section 6) on the passport form in their own right.

Here’s what you need to provide when you come into branch to get a first child passport:

• Passport form with section 10 countersigned by a witness.
• Two certified photos

Full payment for your application: the passport fee plus the £16.00 Digital Check & Send fee.

It should take 3 weeks to process a renewal application.
