Passport Running Out of Pages? Can You Still Apply Urgently?

Frequent travellers often find their passport filling up with stamps and visas long before it expires. If your passport is running out of pages, you may be wondering: can you still apply urgently? The answer is yes — and here’s how it works in 2025.

When Is a Passport Considered ‘Full’?

A passport is classed as ‘full’ when there are not enough blank pages left for new stamps or visas. Airlines and border authorities may refuse travel if they cannot stamp your passport, even if it’s still valid by date. For this reason, many travellers choose to renew before it officially runs out of space.

Can You Use Urgent Services?

Yes. Both urgent UK passport services are available if your passport is running out of pages:

• 1-Day Premium Service (Adults 16+ only): Book an appointment, and your new passport is printed and ready within 4 hours. Ideal if you have travel booked within days.
• 1-Week Fast Track Service: Available for both adults and children. Passport arrives at your home by tracked delivery within 7 days of your appointment.

What About the Jumbo 50-Page Passport?

If you travel frequently for work or leisure, you can request the Jumbo 50-page UK passport. This option provides extra pages for visas and stamps, and is available through both urgent services. You’ll need to select the ‘50-page option’ during the application process.

Documents You’ll Need

• Your current passport (even if nearly full)
• New compliant passport photo
• Completed application form
• Payment for HMPO and service fees

Tips for Frequent Travellers

• Renew early: Don’t wait until every page is full — renew as soon as space is running low.
• Choose the Jumbo option: Saves time and hassle if you travel often.
• Use a digital photo service: To avoid delays from rejected photos.

Final Thoughts

If your passport is running out of pages, don’t risk getting caught out at the airport. You can apply urgently using the Premium or Fast Track services, and even upgrade to the Jumbo 50-page passport to make future travel smoother.
