    Hi,

    I need to renew my British passport but using Dublin's services comes with crazy fees compared to UK's! Looked at old threads but no-one mentioned whether it was possible to go up to Belfast & renew it there?

    It would be a lot cheaper, can anyone clarify?

    Thanks

    you can can an emergency appointment in Belfast but it costs!

    If you have access to an address in the UK, get someone to send you the application forms which are available from any UK Post Office, fill them in, stick your two photos in and get them into the UK postal system (I took mine up to the north and posted them there). The new passport was at a UK address within 10 days. You do not need to be resident at the address you use in the UK but someone has to sign for it when it gets there. I also paid for mine using a U cheque.

    Is it cheaper if you do that with the UK address than if you apply from an Irish address? I need to renew my Brit passport (just expired) and I do have a UK address I could use

    sorry for the delay - yes you just pay the normal UK rate which i think was about £76 but make sure you send via the UK postage system so it has a UK stamp on it.
