How do I apply for a British passport?

If your application for British nationality is successful you will be able to apply for a British passport.

British passports are issued by the Identity and Passport Service (IPS).

All adult customers (aged 16 and over) applying for a passport for the first time must attend an interview with IPS in person to confirm their identity. IPS recommends you allow six weeks for your passport application to be processed. You should not make any travel arrangement until you receive your passport.

If you need any more information about how to apply for a British passport, you can contact the passport advice line on 0870 521 0410 or visit the IPS website for more information.
