I helped to renew my wife’s passport from Australia, we previously renewed via the UK consulate but was advised that this is now done in the UK. The complexity of filling out the correct forms and using couriers was daunting. The service from U.K.PASSPORTS was so great and simple with the agent keeping us informed every step of the way. The couriers turned up on time for collection and passports returned before the expected delivery date. Was a bit concerned sending passport overseas but there is no need to worry, the consultant was super friendly and well worth the money paid for the service. A big shout out to Elyse who was super fantastic.
