I want to apply for a new or renewed child passport (under 16s)

What if my child is already on my passport?

Before October 1998 many children were included on adult passports. If your child is on your passport they can continue to travel with you in this way until:

Important note: Children travelling to the USA need to have their own passport. For more details check the news section.

If you renew or change your passport in any way your child can no longer be included on it and you should apply for a first 5-year child passport for them if they are under 16.

If your child is still on your passport when they reach 16 and apply for their own 10-year adult passport, please send your passport to us with their application. We will remove their details from your passport and return it to you.
