Palma.—All British residents living in Spain must now make their passport applications online at www.gov.uk/overseas-passports.
The new passport process, which is part of a worldwide changeover, helps to reduce the possibility of making errors that can delay applications.
Applicants will find that the new process, which includes online payment, generates a personalised pack that must be printed, signed and sent with photographs and any additional documentation that may be required to the Passport Office in the UK - and no longer to a British Consulate or Embassy.
Once an application has been submitted, applicants will receive instructions on how to track its progress via the website.
