COMPLETION OF THIS APPLICATION FORM

Use this application form if you are applying for a United Kingdom passport abroad and the child is a British Citizen, British Overseas Territories Citizen, British Overseas Citizen, British subject or British protected person.

Passport application forms and further details concerning passport applications to be made abroad can be obtained from www.fco.gov.uk, a British Embassy, or other British consular section.

A non-refundable fee is payable at the time of applying. Where the new passport is to be sent to you by post, or courier please send the appropriate postal charges (including registered post

fee) with remittance.

Dual nationality: if the child possesses the nationality or citizenship of another country, he/she may lose this when he/she acquires a British passport. Please check with the authorities of the other country before making this application.

Wherever possible, please submit this application at least 4 weeks before you need the passport, and at least 6 weeks if you have not previously held a British passport. Do not make arrangements for travel before you have your new passport. If your passport is due to expire, we strongly advise that you apply for a replacement passport. You can apply for a replacement passport any time before your existing passport expires and we can add up to 9 months validity from your current passport to your new one.

We will check the details you provide using information held by public and private sector organisations in order to determine whether to issue a passport. Those details may be used by the Identity and Passport Service to test our systems and to ensure the effective operation of passport services. We may also contact you to ask if you are satisfied with such services. We may pass information held on your passport and on related passport records to public and private sector organisations in the UK and abroad when you use your passport, obtain a service or when it is in the public interest to do so.

There is a separate sheet of Notes (Notes for Form C2) to help you complete this application form. Please refer to these whenever this application form tells you to, and follow symbols, e.g. # to INTERPRETATION for definitions.

Your application may be delayed if you do not enclose the necessary documents or fee, do not complete all of the sections as indicated or if you send photographs that do not meet our requirements.
