Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that the Passport Office issues clear instructions for applying for a passport for an adopted foreign national.

All His Majesty’s Passport Office customer guidance is published on GOV.UK. The published guidance includes clear instructions on applying for a passport for an adopted foreign national at the following page: Getting a passport for your child: adopted or fostered

A customer would in the first instance, read Get a passport for your child: Apply for a first child passport, which provides wider instructions on applying for a passport for a child.

HM Passport Office guidance is under continuous review in order to ensure it aligns with legislation and reflects the most up to date information.
