Changes to British Passport Application Procedure
To renew your current British passport or to apply for a British passport for the first time, you must now make your application to the Identity and Passport Service (IPS) in the UK. Instead of the passports being sent to Dusseldorf, Germany. Information on how to apply can be found on the GOV.UK website.
The application will take at least 4 weeks and it will cost GBP 147.86 which should be paid by credit card on-line. You will need to download the form and send it using a secure delivery service with all the supporting documents plus 2 photos to the Identity and Passport Offices in Liverpool.
