Specifics of the British Passport Renewal (Valid) Children

 Introducing the solution to British Passport Renewal (Child) with valid passports:
Caters for children who hold British nationality. Their passports have not yet expired or have expired within a 5 year period. Children must be below the age of 16 years (or younger) at the time of submission.

 Duration of passport:
The British Passport Renewal (Valid) Child application is set for a 5 year period. Fixed start date and end date.

Once the child turns 16 years old, they will qualify for a 10 year adult passport.

Settlement rights:
British passports grant the “right of abode”. This simply means that holders of British passports have the right to abide/abode (to live) in the United Kingdom.

 Family Dependents:
Permitted. Being dependent on a British national minor is permitted, however is a very complicated (and high risk) visa application. These cases have a very high risk of refusal and are very expensive.

 Processing Times:
4 weeks. From the date of arrival in the UK, applicants experience an average of a 3 to 6 week processing time.

 Common Reason for Rejection:
Most of these cases are rejected because they are incorrectly presented or not received on time. The British government (Her Majesties Passport Office) has also changed and updated their supporting documentation expectations. This is a common misunderstanding experienced in these cases.

    Whole Process:
Getting a British passport renewed, before the current one expires, simply means that the British national keeps their passport validity in check and affords the applicant the opportunity to travel freely (at a moments notice).
