The passport team in Dusseldorf aim to issue new passports within 10 working days of receiving the correct supporting documents (excluding transit time).

In the meantime The British Embassy in Oslo will continue to issue Emergency Passports for people who need to travel quickly.

What this means to you?

 

You must:

• Look after your passport.
• Check its validity.  (Passports can be renewed up to 9 months before they expire.  The extra time will be added on to the new passport’s period of validity.)
• If you do not have a full validity passport, you will need to allow extra time to obtain one.
• If you are a frequent traveller, to countries requiring a visa, please enquire at the counter about purchasing a second passport.
