My Passport Pages Are Full | Jumbo 50 Page Passports

If you are a frequent traveler, you may find yourself running out of pages in your passport, in some circumstances many countries or border checks will require a full page of your passport free even though the stamps used can only cover less then quarter of a page.


You are not able to add any additional pages to an existing passport, the standard passport issued by HM Passport Office contains 34 pages, but if you need more, you can order a 48 page jumbo passport if you need one to ensure that you are covered if you travel more than the average person, although this does some at an additional cost.



How do I order a jumbo 50 page passport?

Applying for a jumbo passport, it is the same application process and required documents as a standard passport, however in order to ensure you receive a 48 page instead of a 34 page then you will need to do the following:

• Fill in section X of the form which states: If you want to pay for an 50-page passport, put a (X) in this box This is not available for children, see example below:




• Include the extra payment cost if applying via post and using a cheque or postal order, this will need to be £85.50 instead of £75.50 for the standard passport.
