Your local British Embassy, High Commission or Consulate where you reside can issue an Emergency Travel Document. This document will allow you to travel abroad up to a maximum of 5 countries and will cover your return to the country you apply from (where you reside).
If it is approved, you may get the document the same day or a few days later in the event of more information being required.
If approved, your Emergency Travel Document will only be valid for the specific travelling plans you supply at the time of application.

You may need a visa to leave the country you’re in or to travel through other countries with your emergency travel document. Check with the embassy or consulate of each country.
If your final destination is the UK, border staff will keep your emergency travel document when you arrive. Border staff at a different final destination might also keep the document.
You will need to apply online. Currently, it costs £100 to apply for an emergency travel document.
You might need to attend an appointment at your nearest British embassy, high commission or consulate after you apply online. You’ll be told after you’ve submitted your application whether you need an appointment.
You’ll need to give a contact telephone number and email address as part of your application.
