In order to have someone other than yourself register your documents at His Majesty's Passport Office and collect your new passport when you are unable to, a letter of authorisation is required.
If you choose to apply for your new passport with us then the original authorisation letter will need to be sent together with all of your other supporting documents for your passport application.
To make things as easy for you as possible, we have put together a template that you will receive once you have filled in the order form.
The authorisation letter should be addressed directly to His Majesty's Passport Office and will need to contain the following information:
Information in your authorisation letter:
