By manually editing and verifying your photo, we guarantee it complies with HM Passport Office regulations. Look out for your UK passport photo code in your email within two hours.
Here is the exact breakdown of the costs for renewing a British passport from Australia. The UK government updated these fees recently, with the new pricing taking effect on April 8, 2026.
Because you are applying from overseas, you are subject to the international fee structure. The Home Office charges these fees in British Pounds (GBP), so the exact amount you pay in Australian Dollars (AUD) will depend on your bank's daily exchange rate.
