brewsterbudgen Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I did my son's renewal last year. In addition to the application form, I just needed colour copies of every page of his expiring UK passport and new counter-signed photos. I also had confirmation of our address in Thailand. I didn't need any documents relating to my wife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it's hard to find an official document with my daughter's name and address on. Her passport has already expired, I wonder if that will be a problem ?

Hami Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 If the counter signatory is an EU passport holder, you'll also need to include color photocopy of their passport page too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son only has a UK passport, so I'm not sure if a copy of any other passport held is required or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 As the British Embassy does not issue passports or offer advice on passport applications this topic is moved to the Home Country forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did VFS spot this "major deficiency" before sending your renewal docs on their merry way to the UK, or was this entirely down to some nit-picking HMPO jobsworth at the UK end? I find it rather surprising that you weren't apparently also asked for colour copies of the front and back burgundy covers (on separate sheets, of course) of your existing passport for good measure! ????
