The reason for this is that the regulation has changed so that no passport can be valid for more than 10 years – so if your current passport was for more than 10 years due to remaining time from the previous one being added in, it will not be valid for most international travel after the 10 th anniversary of its issue. This means that if you renew your current passport before its expiry date, you will “lose” the weeks or months that remain. Passports are now all issued for a 10 year period. Recent experiences have seen turn around times varying from 4 weeks to over 16 weeks, so it is recommended that you do not leave it to the last minute to renew your passport. You can also renew your passport with a "paper" form but it will cost a few £s more. This price applies to online applications. The current cost is £82.50 (although the renewal website will give the current price) and can be paid by credit card. If you do not have access to a camera on your computer, the website gives explanations on how you can submit your digital photo. However, if your computer has a camera you can take the picture with it while completing the online application. You will be required to provide a digital photograph. The instructions on the website are relatively easy to follow. British passports can be renewed on-line using the Gov.uk website.
