Can I change the details on my passport after it is issued?

Asked a year ago
No, you cannot change the details on your passport after it is issued. Once your passport is issued, the personal information contained on it, such as your name, date of birth, and nationality, is considered final and cannot be altered. It is crucial to carefully review the details you provide during the passport application process to ensure accuracy. Any errors or changes needed should be addressed and corrected before submitting your application. In case of significant changes to your personal information, like a legal name change, you will be required to apply for a new passport with the updated details. Remember to always keep your passport information updated and inform HM Passport Office if any changes are required.
