Related : Immigration & Nationality Division Passport Application Guernsey : www.statusin.org/8813.html
You will need application Form A, details of where you can obtain an application form can be found under the ‘related pages’ section to the right.
What do I need to do?:
You need to complete the application form and submit it to our office. Application forms come with detailed guidance notes which explain what sections of the form to complete. There is also information about passport photographs which must meet internationally agreed standards.
What supporting documents do I need?:
Apart from the completed application form and 2 recent identical photographs, the only supporting document you need to send is your current or last passport. If the details in the passport, your name for example, differ to those on the form you have completed, you will need to submit supporting documentation as evidence of that change.
If your passport you are surrendering was restricted to a limited period or is damaged, in addition to a countersignature, you may be required to submit additional supporting documentation.
Will I need a counter signatory (a person to sign your form to confirm that you are who you say you are)?:
When you are surrendering a passport for renewal you will not normally require another person to sign your form unless:
** your appearance is very different from the photo in your current or last passport
** the passport you are surrendering was issued to you when you were under 16 years of age
** your passport was restricted to a limited period
** your passport is damaged
In these circumstances, you will need someone to countersign your application form and certify your photograph.
How much is it to replace a passport for a person who is 16 years of age or over?:
See Passport Fees in the ‘related pages’ section to the right.
What happens to my old passport?:
Your old passport will be cancelled at the time you submit your application for a replacement passport. You may have your cancelled passport returned to you if you wish, unless it has been defaced or altered. In these cases it will be destroyed and not returned to you. If you do not want the cancelled passport back it will be retained by the Passport Office and destroyed.
You will not be able to use the old passport.
If there are any unexpired visas of countries that you still wish to travel to, in your cancelled passport, you will need to make enquiries with the relevant consular authority of the country concerned as to how the visa is affected.
