Do You Need To Renew Your Passport?

Do you need to renew your passport? The British High Commission in Nicosia advises British Nationals to check the validity of their passports, as Emergency travel documents will only be approved in very limited circumstances, and only with evidence of the urgent nature of your request.  Passports can be renewed up to 9 months in advance with the extra time being added to the validity period of the new passport.

Since June 1^st 2010, the British High Commission in Nicosia are no longer able to issue passports, therefore British nationals living in Southern Cyprus need to send their applications by courier to The UK Regional Passport Processing Centre in Madrid. Details of application fees, how to pay, and courier costs can be found on the British High Commission website ukincyprus.fco.gov.uk.  For those that visit the High Commission offices with their passport application, the High Commission will forward the applications to Madrid, however the applicant will be responsible for the courier fees in addition to the application fees.

The address you need to send your application to is:

UK Regional Passport Processing Centre
British Consulate-General Madrid
Torre Espacio
Paseo de la Castellana 259D
28046 Madrid
