If you're a British citizen living in the United States, renewing your British passport just got a whole lot easier. At uspassport.com, we're thrilled to launch our British Passport Renewal Service, a full-service solution that handles your application from start to finish.
Whether you're planning travel, maintaining dual-citizen documentation, or just want peace of mind, we take the guesswork out of the process so you can focus on what matters most.
Why This Service Exists
In the past, some British passport services were offered through the British Embassy or Consulates in the U.S. - but that's no longer the case for routine passport renewals. According to the official UK government pages for both the British Consulate General in New York and British Embassy Washington, passport services (including renewals) are no longer handled there; instead, all British passport applications are managed by HM Passport Office in the U.K. and must be submitted online or by mail.
On the government’s own site for overseas British passport applications, you'll find instructions on how to handle passport renewals from abroad.
This means that if you're living in the U.S., your application must be prepared correctly, submitted online, and your current/old passport must be sent to the U.K. for processing.
That's where we help.
What Our British Passport Renewal Service Includes
We've built this service to take the complex bits off your plate:
1. Application Preparation
We complete your British passport renewal application accurately and fully - helping avoid common mistakes that lead to delays or rejections.
2. Photos That Meet UK Specifications
UK passport photos must meet very specific requirements. We take compliant photos (digital and/or print), so your application isn't held up due to photo issues.
3. Secure Shipping of Your Old Passport
Once everything's ready, we securely ship your old passport and your renewal packet to HM Passport Office in the U.K. via UPS or FedEx, with full tracking.
4. Status Updates & Return Delivery
We track your application and keep you updated with real-time status notifications. When your renewed passport is ready, it’s returned safely to your U.S. address, along with your old passport (mailed separately).
What You Should Know Before You Start
- Renewals are NOT done at British consulates or the embassy in the U.S.
Official UK government sources clearly state that passport services are no longer offered through these diplomatic offices - renewals are managed solely by HM Passport Office in the U.K.
- All renewals must go through HM Passport Office abroad.
You can find official guidance on overseas UK passport applications here: https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports.
- Processing times vary.
Typical turnaround times can vary based on demand, completeness of your application, and seasonal factors - so we always recommend starting early.
Who This Service Is For
This service is ideal for:
- British citizens residing anywhere in the United States.
- Dual citizens who hold or previously held a British passport.
- Travelers planning trips abroad and needing their passport renewed well in advance.
