The British Consulate General in Istanbul offers a wide range of consular services, including the processing of visas and passports and document legalization. To apply for a new passport, renew your old passport, want to change the particulars on your current passport, or need to report about a lost or damaged passport, book an appointment with the high commission's passport service.
These consulate services are listed below:
In case you want to apply for an identity card, report about your lost or stolen United Kingdom ID card, or need to edit or change your particulars on the Identity verification card, consult the high commission.
Remember that passport applications take at least six weeks to process. Dual nationals must declare the other nationality before applying for the renewal of their United Kingdom passport. If you want to regain citizenship, wait until the completion of the regaining process. Furthermore, passports are delivered to the applicant via postal services, and there's no need to visit the high commission.
In the wake of the pandemic, visitors are requested to provide a registered, secure, and trackable envelope with their full address and pre-paid postage stamps to receive their sensitive documents via post. The envelope must indicate the applicant's full name and postal code while having enough return postage. Moreover, anyone visiting the British Consulate General in Istanbul must abide by the necessary SOPs, wear a mask, and comply with social distancing rules
