What you can settle without going to the consulate

Online or by mail, these do not need a trip.

  • You can apply for a first passport for a child born in the U.S., and your countersignatory may hold a U.S. passport: First or child passport.
  • You can cancel a lost or stolen passport online before you replace it: Lost or stolen passport.
  • You can order an English or Welsh birth, marriage or death certificate from the General Register Office: UK birth certificate.

    • Before driving to a consulate, check whether the thing you need is done online: for a British passport it is.
