This leaflet outlines the 3 steps to applying online for your first passport, if you are applying as an adult and have never had a UK passport before. It tells you where to go to start your application and directs you to information about digital passport photos, how we confirm your identity and what documents you need to send.

You can print off this leaflet to help someone less able to apply online to use the process. Please check this page each time to make sure you are using the latest version of the leaflet.
