Passport Authorisation Form

"I need a Passport Authorisation Form to allow my solicitor to handle my passport renewal while I'm working abroad in Singapore from January 2025 to June 2025, ensuring compliance with UK regulations."

Document background
The Passport Authorisation Form serves as a crucial document when an individual needs to delegate authority for passport-related matters. This form is particularly relevant in situations where direct handling of passport affairs is not possible, such as when the applicant is abroad, incapacitated, or a minor. The document, governed by English and Welsh law, must comply with HM Passport Office requirements and includes detailed personal information, purpose of authorisation, and necessary declarations. It often requires professional verification and must adhere to strict data protection regulations to protect sensitive personal information.

4. Declaration: Statement confirming the truth and accuracy of provided information, understanding of legal implications
