UK expired passport renewal questions
Hi. Please be kind.
I'm trying to find out what others have experienced when renewing an expired UK passport, from the USA. Mom was born in the UK, to UK parents, and naturalized in the US.
Was it easy to apply online, and upload photos? I hope I can take good enough pictures for her. 🤔
Anyway, I know my Mom will need to apply online, and then send in supporting documents. She'll need to send her expired burgundy UK passport (expired in 2006) and copies of every page of her US passport, but what else?
The instructions give a choice for name and address and/or residency evidence. The website says:
Please provide one of the following:
visa or resident permit (or colour photocopy)
tax record (for example, a letter from a tax authority)
educational record (for example, a school report)
employment record (for example, an official letter from your employer)
letter sent to you from a central, regional or local government department •- - - medical/health card
voter’s card
What did you send in?
Also, what method is best for sending all this securely? UPS? FedEx? What did that cost? I know this is going to be expensive. 😫
