What is the cost difference if I did this process myself vs. using you?
Click here for our do-it-yourself tutorial, it has pricing and a lot more.
What is the différance with the online application vs. paper application with your company?
With the paper application, we are more hands on in the process. General if you are applying for a first U.K. Passport, or you just don’t like dealing with technology, the paper application is a better choice. Note, the paper application does cost more money.
Is it fast if I use you vs. doing it myself?
If you did it perfectly, the timelines would be the same. The major advantage with us:
- If we need to send additional documents (example: something missing or requested by HM Passport office), you don’t get charged for additional couriers costs to the U.K., we take care of this.
- You will have less to worry about getting things correct.
Can I get an urgent passport?
You would have to speak to the British Embassy in your home country (Washington, D.C. or Ottawa)
