VIP Passport Appointment: Booking and Cancellation Guidelines

Are you planning to book a VIP passport appointment or looking to cancel an existing one? Look no further! This article will guide you through the process of booking, cancelling, and changing your appointment.

Firstly, it's essential to note that if you need to cancel your appointment, you can do so by calling the Passport Adviceline. However, if your appointment is less than 48 hours away, you'll need to cancel it instead and book again for free. If your appointment is more than 48 hours away, you won't incur any charges.

To change your appointment, follow the guidance provided in your confirmation email. Please note that changing your appointment may result in additional fees, such as a £30 admin fee for each new application.

Booking an Appointment

If you're applying for a first-time adult passport or a replacement passport due to loss, theft, or damage, you can book an appointment online or through the phone. You'll be asked some questions to determine which services you're eligible for. The cost of a child passport is £135.50 (or £147.50 for a 54-page frequent traveller passport), while an adult passport costs £166.50 (or £178.50 for a 54-page frequent traveller passport).

Changing Personal Details

If you need to change personal details on your passport, such as your name, place of birth, or gender, you can use the standard service instead. This will cost £207.50 (or £219.50 for a 54-page frequent traveller passport), and you'll receive your new passport at your appointment.

Urgent Passport Applications

If you need to travel urgently due to medical treatment, government business, or a serious illness or death in the family, you can apply for an urgent passport. However, if you've already applied for a passport but haven't received it yet, do not pay for an urgent passport. Instead, apply for an emergency travel document.

Booking and cancelling a VIP passport appointment requires careful planning and attention to detail. By following the guidelines outlined above, you'll be able to make informed decisions about your application and ensure a smooth process. Remember to call the Passport Adviceline if you have any questions or concerns, and always review your confirmation email for guidance on changing your appointment.
