UK Passport Fees

How to apply

There are three main possibilities to apply for a British
Passport.
The applicant can apply with:

A private passport agency like Rapid British Passports.
His Majesty's Passport Office.
The Post Office with the "Check and Send" service.

What is the difference

Using an agency like Rapid British Passports allows you to have your passport issued accurately and on a Fast Track service without the need to book an appointment with His Majesty's Passport Office.

With Rapid British Passports you can choose between a Same Day, a Next Day and a One Week Service.

Using the other two postal routes can take up to 3 weeks.
