Passport office workers are now on strike for five weeks between 3 April to 5 May in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in a dispute over jobs, pay and conditions.

More than a quarter of the Passport Office's 4,000 employees are expected to walk out.

What does that mean if you need to get a new passport?

How do I renew my passport?
You can renew your passport online, at a cost of £82.50 (payable by debit or credit card) or by post, at a cost of £93.

For a child passport (under 16), the fee is £53.50 for an online application and £64 for a postal one.

To apply online, you will need your existing passport and a digital photograph.

To apply by post, you will need to fill out a form, which you can get from any post office, which has a check and send service, or by calling the Passport Adviceline.
