Getting help

If you cannot get the support you need from local services, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) can help British people abroad.

We prioritise emergencies and people who are vulnerable, for example, if someone’s:

ill, injured, or involved in a crime
with a British person who’s died

Get help from FCDO

Get an emergency travel document

You can apply for an emergency travel document if you’re abroad and your passport has been lost or stolen, damaged or expired, and you can’t get a new or replacement passport in time to travel.

Apply online for an emergency travel document:

if the person needing the emergency travel document is under 16, a parent or guardian should apply on their behalf
if you are travelling in more than 3 weeks, check if you can get a new or replacement passport in time to travel

If you are not a British citizen or have not had a British passport before

if you’re not sure, check if you’re a British citizen
if you’re not a British citizen but think you may be eligible, contact us to apply for an emergency travel document.
