This list is for British applicants from certain countries who are applying for a passport from outside the UK.

To now apply for your passport, use the overseas tool to find the specific advice about how to renew or apply for your passport from the country you are in.

Remember if you’re a dual national, you must send a colour photocopy of your non-UK passport (every page including blank pages) as part of your application. You may be asked to show your non-British passport at a later date.
