Can You Renew a UK Passport Without Proof of Address?

One of the most common concerns people face when renewing their passport is: “What if I don’t have proof of address?” Whether you’ve just moved house, don’t have bills in your name, or simply can't find the right documents — here’s what you need to know.

📌 Do You Need Proof of Address for a UK Passport Renewal?

In most cases, you do not need to submit proof of address when renewing an adult UK passport. Unlike first-time applications, renewals are more straightforward, especially if you still have your old passport.

However, if there are discrepancies or additional verification is required (like a name change or a lost passport), HM Passport Office may request supporting documents — which could include proof of address.

📎 What Counts as Proof of Address (If Asked)?

• Utility bill (within the last 3 months)
• Bank or credit card statement
• Council tax bill
• Tenancy agreement or mortgage statement
• HMRC letter or DWP correspondence

If you can’t provide these, a signed letter from a landlord or official document confirming your current address might also be accepted in special cases.
