Authorizing Another to Attend Your Appointment
Many believe that when an applicant renews or replaces their passport via the 7 day Fast Track or 1 day Premium Service the applicant themselves must travel and attend a face to face meeting at one of the regional Passport Offices throughout the UK (not required for the standard 4-6 week renewal service).
The Passport Office appreciates that for many applicants it can be very inconvenient to take the day off work and incur travel and accommodation expenses travelling to their nearest Passport Office so they can authorise another person to attend the appointment on their behalf. If using the Fast Track service then the applicant simply needs to enter their name on the “Who is Coming” section on the online form. If using the Premium 1 Day Service then they will need an “Authorisation Letter” in order to collect your passport from His Majesty’s Passport Office.

Does a Parent Need an Authorization Letter?
No, if you are the parent or guardian of someone who is under 16yrs of age then you do not need an authorisation letter from your child. You will need to produce your ID though if collecting the passport or another individual.
Who Else Can Attend?
If the applicant cannot attend their own appointment then we can arrange an Authorized Agent to attend on the applicants behalf meaning they do not need to take the day off work, incur travel costs etc. Further details on this service which can be used for both Fast Track and Premium appointments can be found here >>
