We need to see original documents that prove you are British. We do not accept photocopies of documents or documents that have been laminated. We do however accept laminated documents for change of name purposes only.
Please note that a birth certificate is not absolute proof of identity, and even if you were born in the UK we may ask to see further documents.
If you are not sure what you need to send us you can call our 24-hour Passport Adviceline 0300 222 0000 (see terms and conditions).
If you are clear about what documents you need and have no further queries you are ready to go to the checklist.
You may need extra documents in this case. Please choose one of the following:
