How to ask us to return your passport
If you have submitted your passport in support of your application under European law, we generally advise that you should not make any travel plans.
However, there may be occasions when you need to travel before your application has been decided and will need to request your passport back.
We will try to return your travel documents within 10 working days of you making us aware of your travel plans.
If you need to request your documents for emergency travel (because you will be travelling within the next 10 days), you must contact the UK Border Agency helpline on 0845 010 5200 and speak to a member of staff about your request. You must provide details of when you need to travel. This will help to make sure that we can deal with your request and return your documents to you as soon as possible.
Please note that we do not routinely accept emergency requests and you will need to provide proof of your need to travel.
If your expected date of travel is more than 10 days in the future, you must email your request to LiverpoolEuro.PassportReturns@UKBA.gsi.gov.uk. Please provide details of your travel plans and your Home Office reference if possible. This dedicated email address has been set up specially for non-urgent returns of passports. It is strictly monitored, and only non-urgent requests for passport returns should be sent to it - any other requests, including urgent requests and general queries about the progress of your application, will automatically be deleted and will not be progressed. Please do not submit your email request more than once.
Please note that requesting the return of your passport will not lead to the quick consideration of your application.
Go and travel if you want! (Though UK in the summer is very nice)
