The UK "rush" or urgent passport service consists of two primary tiers: the 1-Day Premium and the 1-Week Fast Track. The 1-Day Premium service is the fastest option and is exclusively for renewing adult passports; your new passport is typically ready to collect from a passport office just 4 hours after your scheduled appointment. This service currently costs approximately £222. The 1-Week Fast Track service is more versatile, allowing for renewals, replacements of lost or stolen passports, and even first-time child passports; the new document is delivered to your home by a courier exactly one week after your appointment. This service costs around £178 for adults and £145 for children. For both options, you must book an appointment at one of the seven regional passport offices (such as London, Liverpool, or Glasgow) and apply online in advance. It is important to note that you cannot use these urgent services for a first-time adult passport, which still requires the standard 3-to-10 week processing period. These services are in high demand, so travelers are advised to book their appointments up to three weeks before they intend to travel.
