Renewing Your British Passport

If your passport is red, renewing your British passport is simple. In order to renew your passport, you need the following documentation:

your original or expired UK passport
UK passport photos which meet the specifications (35mm by 45mm with a face between 29mm and 34mm tall)

Once you have your photos, you can apply for your passport in one of two ways:

You can either renew your UK passport online directly with the UK Passport office or through a private company who will receive your paper, fax or email application and submit it online for you.

I was emailing with Riley and he was extremely rude to me. I just want people to know that they don't pay when they owe people money. The company policy is also just to ignore inquiries and not communicate with people. They would fire you and not give you your last paycheck. You should not do work for them. If you use their services, don't pay them. It's how they do business so they won't mind.

First of all I wish to recognize Didi from Immigroup Inc. Didi assisted me with my application for a British Passport. I reside in Alberta, Canada but was born in Northern Ireland 40 years ago. I applied through Immigroup Inc. and Didi was on top of things from the start. As we did most of our correspondence by email and some phone conversations I have to say the process went excellent. We had a few hiccups but this was minor given how we were communicating over great distances. When we did run into minor issues involving documents Didi was superb to deal with and handled absolutely everything quickly and efficiently. I cant say how pleased I am, my new passport has arrived and all my original documents returned safe and secure. Thank you very much Didi and to Immigroup for their excellent service. This process was worth every penny and I will be using Immigroup and hopefully Didi again in the future for my children's passports. 6 out of 5 stars :)

I called Anthony for some advice in relation to my permanent residency. He provided me with the perfect guidance before having to meet him. I would highly recommend his services if you need any guidance/help with your PR. Thanks Anthony!

From the onset of working with Bonnie in the Toronto office, I knew I was in the best of hands. I was initially concerned that there was no longer a British Office in the US to renew my passport. After some research I came upon Immigroup and the rest is history. If you want to work with true professionals who takes the time to carefully help you through the whole process, then you need to reach out to Immigroup. Thanks Bonnie for all your help!

Thanks to Anthony & Silvia, my husband & I were able to submit a correctly filled Express Entry application and we received our PPR without any additional document requests or delays. We had approached Immigroup for a final review of our filled Express Entry application. After contacting almost 10 different consultants we found online, it was the reasonable pricing of Immigroup and Silvia's quick and friendly responses that gave us the confidence to work with them.

I received my passport in October and had nothing but great experiences when working with this company! I was applying for my first UK Adult Passport and Bonnie made it so easy and quick. I tried to do this on my own a couple of years ago and gave up quickly. When I researched other ways to get it, I found Immigroup and called them to ask some questions. Even a brief phone call answered all my questions seamlessly. Thank you Bonnie for making the process so smooth, I got to use my passport not even a month after receiving it in the UK! Very happy!

I had an absolutely horrible experience trying to get my first adult UK passport through Immigroup. Although Bonnie was kind and quick in responding, she did not provide the services expected from Immigroup. Firstly, I asked her when I would get my passport and she said it is between 4-6 weeks after being processed but more like 5 weeks. It took me slightly less than 3 months AFTER Bonnie gave up on my case. Secondly, the point of paying for this service is to have my documents checked over before sending them to the HM Passport office in the U.K. After 2 months of waiting for my passport, Bonnie gave up on my application. After 9 weeks, I found out on my own that there were issues with my documents that I fixed up on my own since Immigroup gave up on my application. These issues should have been caught BEFORE my application was sent out. If they were I would have gotten my passport a lot earlier. I would advise going through this process on your own rather than going through Immigroup and paying their large fee. If you do decide to go through Immigroup make sure they check all of your documents properly so you don't have to go through my terrible experience.

Good people whom deliver on their promise. The process was simple and very expeditious, saving me lots of time and headaches. I will definitely recommend going this route even if you're not in a rush! Thanks again.

I required an expedited Citizenship Certificate and was happy with the results. I wish the kept me more in the loop however their delivery time was less than 11 business days. So I cant argue with the results.

I don't give good ratings easily. But what Immigroup did is certainly worth it. They did amazing work overturning our refusal decision for Visitor Visa for a parent instructing us what documents to collect, navigating through the process, and advising us from making mistakes that we were poised to do. This is something that you have to work really hard on to make them change their decision. The cover letter written on our behalf was absolutely fantastic highlighting all the strengths of our application and making crystal clear why the applicant is not going to break immigration laws. We are grateful to Immigroup team and Anthony in particular for the brilliant work they've done for us.

I had a great experience dealing with Anthony at Immigroup. He was very professional, set clear expectations from the start, responsive to concerns, and knowledgable. I will recommend Immigroup services for anyone seeking immigration help.
