My UK passport doesn’t need renewing just yet, but I am trying to be organised so I can be clear regarding some of the requirements. I see the fee for a 50-page jumbo passport has increased to £128.51, including the courier fee from the UK back to Thailand. On the page on the gov.uk website, in Table A (for renewal) is required “name and address and/or residency evidence.” That says, “one document as evidence of name and address and/or residency dated within the last year. You must get documents that aren’t in English – including documents showing an address – fully translated by a professional translator.” Originally I was hoping to use my yellow housebook or pink ID card, but neither of those are “dated within the last year” I thought about my AIS bill, but that doesn’t come from a “local government department.” Also, what is acceptable as “translated by a professional translator”? What have others used successfully as proof of their address?
