Lastly, mail in your old passport…

Not British, but that sounds incredibly tedious compared to what I have to do.

It’s really not so bad. Some of the photo requirements and stuff seem to be geared toward people who need to be told that they shouldn’t wear a motorcycle helmet.

If you currently have a valid biometric passport believe you can just use your phone for the photo
