proof of residence for British passport renewal


Recommended Posts

Can anyone confirm if VFS will accept a rental agreement (lease) on my residence along with my most recent receipt of notification (90days) and TM 30 as proof of address when renewing my British passport.

Thanks in advance

Use your driving licence.  Or use your phone bill statement.    You can download a statement from your phone company app.

This is from the UK Government website for renewing a passport while overseas. 

 

 

Applying for a passport from outside the UK: supporting documents (group 2) (accessible) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Name and address and/or residency evidence

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
  • immigration documents.

okay thanks, guess I will need to apply for a residence certificate from immigration - last time they gave me a letter but apparently they can longer do that. My fault, thought the TM30 was sufficient proof of residence. 

The problem is that when I retired,  had my media visa cancelled and then applied for an extension of stay for retirement, immigration merely gave me a year's stamp.

thanks to you all. fortunately I have given myself plenty of time before I need to renew my passport so will probably go with the residence certificate complete with translation option just to be safe.
