Applying for a UK passport in Kazakhstan

Out of office emergency number: +7 701 711 2301

 

You need to read this page and How to apply for a UK passport to have all the information you need to apply for your passport.

Where to apply

Application for full 10 year passport can be submitted to British Embassy Office Almaty. However please note we cannot print these passports locally as they are referred to Moscow for processing and usually this takes up five weeks.  But the British Embassy in Moscow is currently experiencing technical difficulties processing applications for 48 page passports.  They are seeking a solution urgently.   Until a solution is in place we are unable to meet our 5 weeks processing time for 48 page passport applications.  

Alternatives available to customers are:
 
apply for a 32 page passport
apply for a 48 page passport at another passport issuing post
postpone the application until a solution is implemented.
 
This note will be removed from the website once a solution is in place.

We can issue Emergency and Temporary passports in extenuating circumstances.
