Our specialist Immigration lawyers are highly experienced and can assist with your British passport application, helping guide you through the process and increasing your chances of success.
Establishing if a person has British citizenship already or whether they can naturalise or register as a British citizen is particularly important because of the implications it has for a person’s immigration status in the UK.
If you are applying for your first British passport, you should expect to have to attend an interview at an Identity and Passport Service (IPS) office and answers questions to verify your identity.
In some cases, they may need to take extra time to assess your application, including confirming details you have given and contacting your countersignature. Nationality law can be complex we always advise that specialist advice should be taken is matters are not straightforward. Our expert immigration lawyers can assist you with all aspects of your British passport application.
British Passport Eligibility
Having British nationality does not automatically guarantee you a passport if:
- You’re suspected of a serious crime and an arrest warrant has been issued
- A court order stops you having a UK passport or restricts your travel
- You’re on bail and bail conditions mean you cannot leave the UK
- You’ve been brought back to the UK before at the government’s expense and have not repaid what you owe
- You’ve received a European Union or United Nations order which restricts your travel
Passport Interviews
All applicants who have to attend a UK passport interview will be sent a letter stating which office they must attend. The interview takes about 30 minutes to complete where you will be asked to verify certain personal information which only the individual applying for the UK passport would know.

How does Brexit affect my eligibility for a British passport?
You must be aware that this may change as part of any new immigration policy following the UK’s formal exit from Europe.
