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

Children in care

Children who are in care or are placed with foster parents need to meet additional legal requirements before a passport can be issued. You can download a copy of our guidelines to Social Services Departments here (pdf, 40kb, new window).

Alternatively you can contact your local Passport Office or telephone our call centre on 0870 521 0410 (8.30am-8.00pm). As these calls may be complex, our call centre will transfer the caller to a regional Passport Office who will be able to deal with their enquiry.
