Do I Need Proof of Travel for a Fast Track Passport Appointment?

If you're trying to renew your passport quickly, you may have heard that you need “proof of travel” — but what does that actually mean? And do you really need it for every urgent passport application?

✅ Quick Answer

Yes, for most urgent UK passport services — including the 1-Week Fast Track and 1-Day Premium appointments — you must provide proof of travel to complete the booking.

What Counts as Proof of Travel?

HM Passport Office accepts the following as valid documentation:

• Flight booking confirmation (email or PDF)
• Train or ferry tickets
• Travel itinerary from a travel agent or tour provider
• Hotel booking with confirmed dates
• Business travel letter from employer

Note: Screenshots or “draft” bookings without confirmation may not be accepted.

Do You Need to Bring Proof to the Appointment?

If you're attending the appointment in person, you may be asked to present this documentation on arrival. For online bookings, you usually upload the document during the application process or provide it upon request.

What If You Don’t Have Proof Yet?

In some cases, you can still book the appointment, but you may need to confirm your travel plans later. If you’re still arranging your trip, it’s best to book something refundable and use that as temporary proof.
