European passport return service

From 01 October 2016 the European passport return service is available for EEA and Swiss nationals applying using the EEA(QP) or EEA(PR) forms. An authorised local agency can photocopy a passport and send the photocopy to the Home Office. The service is available by appointment only and should be used within 5 working days of submitting the form.

Using this service does not guarantee that the form has been correctly completed and correct supporting documents submitted, as well as a success of the application.
