Forgot your passport? Do this in the next 5 minutes

Most forgotten-passport problems can be solved if you act quickly. Before you call for passport delivery, get these answers ready:

  1. 1

    Find out exactly where the passport is

    Which address, which room, which drawer. If you are not sure, ask the people at home to check before anyone sets off.

  2. 2

    Decide who will hand it over

    A partner, relative, neighbour, hotel reception or colleague — someone who can be at the address when our driver arrives.

  3. 3

    Call us on 0333 772 4346

    Tell us the collection address, where you are now and your flight or deadline. We tell you straight away whether the timing is realistic.

  4. 4

    Keep your phone on and charged

    We will keep you updated with the driver's expected arrival time and call you to agree the exact meeting point.

  5. 5

    Talk to your airline if time is tight

    Check-in and bag drop close at different times for each airline. If the drive time is close to your deadline, ask your airline about your options as early as possible.

The process

How our passport delivery service works

Urgent passport delivery is a single, direct journey: one call, one driver, one handover.

1

You call

You speak directly to our operations team, day or night. We confirm the route, the timing and a fixed price.

2

Driver dispatched

The nearest suitable driver is assigned to your job only and heads straight to the collection address.

3

Passport collected

The driver collects the passport from your home, office, hotel or wherever it is, from the person you named.

4

Handed to you

The driver goes direct to you, with live updates on the way, and hands the passport over in person. You get proof of delivery.

Our local airport

Passport delivery to Manchester Airport

Manchester Airport is around 16 miles from our base in Eccles, so it is the airport we reach fastest. If your passport is still at home anywhere in Greater Manchester, Cheshire or Lancashire, call us as soon as you notice — the earlier the call, the more options you have.

Tell us your terminal and flight time. We agree the handover point with you by phone, usually the terminal drop-off area or the departures entrance, before security. The driver calls you on approach so you are not left waiting.

We also deliver to hotels around the airport, for travellers who discover the night before an early flight that their passport is still at home.

Collecting a new passport from a Passport Office

If you renew an adult passport with the 1 Day Premium service, the new passport is ready to collect from the passport office about 4 hours after your appointment. You can send someone else to collect it — including one of our drivers.

According to GOV.UK, the person collecting must bring:

  • your old passport
  • a signed and dated letter from you, naming them and giving them permission to collect the new passport
  • their own ID, such as a passport or driving licence

There are seven passport offices in the UK: Belfast, Durham, Glasgow, Liverpool, London, Newport and Peterborough. From Greater Manchester, Liverpool and Durham are the closest. We can collect the new passport and bring it to your home, office or airport.

1 Day Premium is for adult renewals only. With the 1 Week Fast Track service, HM Passport Office delivers the passport to you by its own courier.

Rules checked on GOV.UK in October 2026. Always check the current rules before you book.

Copy this letter, fill in the details, sign and date it. Our driver will give you their full name when we book the job.

Real passport deliveries

Overnight and out-of-hours passport delivery

Passports go missing at inconvenient times. Our operations line is staffed 24/7, and overnight passport delivery is handled exactly like a daytime job: one driver, direct to you.

Preston to Hartlepool, overnight

Call received
around 22:30
Driver secured
within 30 min
Journey
3.5 hours
Delivered
around 02:30

A customer's passport had been taken to Preston by mistake, while he was already at his hotel in Hartlepool ahead of an 08:00 transfer to an offshore oil rig in the North Sea. We secured a driver within 30 minutes, collected the passport in Preston and drove it directly to the hotel, keeping the customer updated with the expected arrival time. He met the driver in reception at around 02:30 — several hours before his departure.

Afterwards he said he would pass our details to the rest of the crew, as forgotten or misplaced passports happen regularly among offshore workers.

Why it matters

Why use a dedicated passport courier service

A passport is small, valuable and impossible to replace in a hurry. A dedicated passport courier service keeps it in one pair of hands from collection to handover.

One driver, no depots

Your passport stays with one driver from collection to handover. No sorting hubs, no transfers between vehicles, no second pair of hands.

Live updates

Live tracking and arrival updates, so you know when to be at the meeting point instead of waiting and guessing.

Insured as standard

Every consignment is covered by our standard insurance up to £10,000.

Proof of delivery

The handover is confirmed with proof of delivery, so the person who booked knows the passport reached the right person.

Passport delivery is part of our time-critical courier service. For planned jobs, see dedicated same day delivery.

Prices

How much does passport delivery cost?

Every passport delivery is priced for the actual journey. The price depends on three things:

  • the distance from collection to delivery,
  • the time of day (including nights and weekends),
  • the vehicle used.

You get a fixed price before the driver sets off, so you know the cost before you commit. Call 0333 772 4346 or use the form below.

FAQ

Passport delivery FAQ

Can you bring my passport to the airport?

Yes. We collect your passport from wherever it is — home, office, a relative's house or a hotel — and drive it directly to your terminal at any UK airport. We agree the meeting point with you by phone before the driver arrives.

How quickly can you collect my passport?

We start looking for the nearest available driver as soon as you call. Collection is typically within 60 minutes, depending on where the passport is and the time of day. We give you an honest arrival estimate on the phone, before you confirm.

Can the driver bring my passport through security to me?

No. Only passengers can go through airport security, so the handover happens before security — usually at the terminal drop-off area or the departures entrance. Leave yourself enough time to get back through security after you have your passport.

Can a courier collect my new passport from a Passport Office?

Yes, for a 1 Day Premium renewal. According to GOV.UK, the person collecting needs your old passport, a signed and dated letter from you naming them and giving permission to collect, and their own ID such as a passport or driving licence. Fast Track passports are delivered by HM Passport Office's own courier, so they do not need collecting.

What do I need to give the driver?

Tell us the collection address, who will hand the passport over, where you want to meet and your mobile number. For a flight, tell us the airport, terminal and departure time. For a Passport Office collection, the driver also needs your old passport and your signed consent letter.

Can someone else hand over my child's passport?

Yes. Anyone who has access to the passport, such as a partner, relative or neighbour, can hand it to our driver. Give us their name and phone number, and the name of the adult who will receive it at the other end, so the driver knows exactly who to meet.

Do you deliver passports at night and at weekends?

Yes. Our operations line is staffed 24/7. In one recent job we took a call at around 22:30 and delivered a passport from Preston to a hotel in Hartlepool at around 02:30, ahead of an 08:00 offshore transfer.

How much does passport delivery cost?

The price depends on the distance, the time of day and the vehicle. You get a fixed price before the driver sets off, so you know the cost before you commit. Call 0333 772 4346 for a quote.
