PASSPORT RENEWALS
1. All permanently assigned service personnel and their spouses, regardless of their nationality, who are required to travel on official duty or assignment are eligible for renewal at public expense. Lost or damaged passports, or changes to passports for personal reasons, will NOT be provided at public expense and must be paid by the individual.
2. All applications must be submitted through the Unit Admin Office to enable the payment for passports using the Mandate form in Sterling by ePC Card. However, where this is not possible, with prior approval from RAO/RAWO, personal credit/debit card details can be entered onto the mandate form and then reclaimed fee via JPA.
3. A passport is a valuable document. It is service personnel responsibility to apply for renewal as per below eligibility criteria. It remains the property of HM Government and its loss or destruction is to be reported immediately to the Unit Admin Office as well as to the Service Police Detachment giving as much information on its details as are available. Failure to report the loss of a passport can have serious consequences, and delay replacement. Further information on how to report a lost or stolen passport can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/report-a-lost-or-stolen-passport.
