Passports

We no longer issue standard (5 and 10 year) British passports at the Consulate General in Istanbul or the Embassy in Ankara.  You now need to apply for your passport at our Regional Passport Processing Centre in Dusseldorf.

The Regional Passport Processing Centre website will tell you everything you need to know about applying for a new or replacement British passport from Turkey.

Further detailed information on the application process is available here.

Why have we done this? Please see this leaflet [PDF, 77.0 Kb] for all the changes related to the way we issue passports overseas.  If you need to travel urgently and your standard passport is not available we may be able to help you with emergency travel documentation:

• The Emergency Travel Document Leaflet
• Emergency Travel Document Application Form (Rest of the World) [PDF, 168.3 Kb].

Please call your nearest post  Consular Section of the Embassy and explain that you need to travel urgently.

What do I need to do if I need to travel urgently?

You may need to get an Emergency Travel Document
