The British Embassy in Caracas can no longer accept passport applications. Now all passport applicants will need to book an appointment online by sending an email to VenezuelaHMPO@vfshelpline.com. Applicants then need to submit completed passport applications and supporting documents in person at the Visa and Passport Application Centre, located at the following address:

Avenida Francisco de Miranda
Edificio Mene Grande
Piso 6, Oficina 6-1
Los Palos Grandes, Caracas

All the information needed to complete the passport application process is available on the GOV.UK website at: https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports.

If you cannot find the information you need on the GOV.UK website, please contact the Passport Advice line on +44 300 222 0000.

Please be aware that passport extension stamps are no longer available after 10 April 2015.
