Turkish Passport Renewal in the UK 2026 (Turkish Consulates London, Manchester & Edinburgh)

Check whether your UK address falls under London, Manchester or Edinburgh before booking. London covers London, East of England, South East, South West, Jersey, Guernsey and British Overseas Territories. Manchester covers West Midlands, East Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber, North East and North West England, Wales and the Isle of Man. Edinburgh covers Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Use www.konsolosluk.gov.tr and select Turkish citizen consular services and the ordinary passport/e-passport procedure. The appointment system is the official route. Do not travel to the consulate without an appointment.

Turkish passport details are based on the population/MERNIS records. If your name, surname, date of birth or another identity detail is incorrect or recently changed, resolve the relevant nüfus record issue or prepare the supporting evidence before applying.

Bring the original T.C. Kimlik Kartı or qualifying Turkish identity document. The official passport instructions require the original identity document for verification.

Bring the current/previous Turkish passport where available. The passport office must identify and cancel the previous document as appropriate. If you hold more than one valid passport, declare/present them according to the current consular instructions.

Bring one recent Turkish-standard biometric photograph measuring 50 x 60 mm, taken within the last 6 months. Do not use the UK's 35 x 45 mm passport-photo format.

Students should prepare current evidence of active student status if requesting the fee exemption. Minors require parental-consent arrangements. Lost, damaged, stolen, name-change and court-order cases require additional documentation.

Attend the selected consulate on the booked date. Passport applications are personal applications; the applicant must be present for identity verification and the required biometric processing.

Turkish passport procedures collect biometric data. Under the current rules, fingerprints are taken from applicants who have completed age 7; signatures are taken from applicants who have completed age 12. Younger children have different signature/fingerprint rules.

Pay the passport duty and booklet charge according to the applicable validity period and the payment method accepted by the particular UK mission. Payment methods can differ by consulate, so do not assume that London's method is identical to Manchester's or Edinburgh's.

The application data is transmitted electronically into Türkiye's passport-production system. The Turkish Ministry's general information explains that application data is transmitted electronically to the production centre and entered into the personalisation process.

The new e-passport is produced through the Turkish passport-personalisation system in Türkiye and then dispatched through the applicable diplomatic/consular delivery process to the UK mission.

Follow the collection or postal-delivery option available at your mission. The London passport guidance has historically allowed delivery to the applicant's UK address on request, while individual arrangements should be confirmed with the mission at the time of application.

Immediately check your name, surname, date of birth, place of birth, gender, passport number, issue date and expiry date. Because passport chip information is written during personalisation, corrections normally require a new passport application rather than editing the existing chip.

If the old passport contains valid visas or travel records, ask the consulate about its cancellation/return procedure and follow the foreign country’s visa rules before discarding it.
