For British Citizens
Depending on whether you are a child or an adult, applying for your first passport or a replacement passport, the requirements will vary.
For Non-UK nationals
If you are not a British citizen and are unable to use or obtain a passport from your country, we can help you apply for a travel document from the Home Office.
You must be living in the UK for one of the following reasons:
- you have permission to stay as a refugee or stateless person
- you have humanitarian protection
- you have discretionary leave for a limited time after a failed asylum application
- you’re settled here permanently (you have ‘indefinite leave to remain’)
You must show that you’ve formally applied for and been unreasonably refused a passport by the authorities in your country, unless you have permission to be in the UK as a refugee or stateless person.
Depending on your status, there are four categories of travel document you can apply for.
| Your Status | Type of Travel Document | Adult Fee | Child (15 or under) Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Refugee | Convention travel document | £75 | £49 |
| Stateless | Stateless person’s document | £75 | £49 |
| You want to leave and not come back | One-way document (IS137) | £75 | £49 |
| Refused a passport by your own national authorities | Certificate of Travel | £280 | £141 |
