The Passport Expert UK

Will your passport actually get you there? Most people only discover a problem with their passport when it's too late; At check-in, at the airport, or when an application comes back rejected. This free app helps you catch those problems while there's still time to fix them. CHECK YOUR PASSPORT PHOTO Around 1 in 10 passport applications are rejected, and photo problems are the single most common cause. Check yours against HM Passport Office's official requirements before you apply - dimensions, resolution, file size, and a complete self-check list covering background, lighting, expression and quality. CHECK WHERE YOU CAN TRAVEL Enter your expiry date and trip dates, and see instantly whether your passport meets the entry rules for your destination. Covers the full Schengen area, the Balkans, Asia, the Middle East and more - including the 10-year issue date rule that catches out thousands of British travellers every year. All rules come from official UK government sources (FCDO travel advice), not travel blogs. NEVER GET CAUGHT OUT AGAIN Save your passport and your family's, and get reminders at 9 months, 3 months and 1 month before expiry - the point at which you can still renew comfortably rather than urgently. VISAS AND TRAVEL AUTHORISATIONS Plain-English guides to ESTA, ETIAS, and the electronic travel authorisations for Canada, Australia, New Zealand and more - including which official site to use, because copycat sites routinely charge many times the real fee. KNOW WHAT IT COSTS See exactly what a fast-track passport application costs, broken down into the HMPO fee and our service fee. And if you don't need a fast-track service at all, we'll tell you that too. YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account. No login. No servers. Everything you enter: Passport details, photos, travel dates - stays on your own device. We never see it, and it's never uploaded anywhere. BUILT ON REAL EXPERIENCE The Passport Expert UK was co-founded by a former manager at Newport Passport Office. Everything in this app reflects how applications are actually checked and approved. We are a private company and are not affiliated with His Majesty's Passport Office or the UK government. Passport rules can change - always confirm current requirements with GOV.UK before travelling.
