Standard Renewals: Passport is still valid within 10 years from its expiry date or expired for a period of less than 10 years – Standard British passport renewal application procedure applies.
Passport expired or issued very long ago: If a passport was issued very long ago (before 2004) or expired very long ago (ten years ago or longer) then all qualifying criteria must be submitted as for a first-time application, original birth certificate/s, marriage certificate/s in the event of name changes, etc.
Each new passport application is unique with different requirements; therefore, an applicant will be advised what documents will be needed when submitting a completed application form.
If your passport was issued before Brexit, if it is burgundy or has ‘European Union’ on the cover, you can continue to use it until it expires.

Passport validity: A passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months after the intended return date. Passports should have at least six months of validity when traveling internationally. Most countries will not permit a traveller to enter their country unless the passport is set to expire at least six months after the final day of travel. A passport must be valid longer than your stay. Most countries require it to be valid for six months beyond your intended return date. If it expires before that, you may be denied boarding or entry upon arrival at your destination and will have to go straight back home. To be safe, verify that your passport is valid for at least six months after your intended return date — if the expiration date is uncomfortably close to the cut-off, make sure you renew it way ahead of time. Unfortunately, this is something airlines will rarely mention, even when you’re booking. You need to have at least 3 blank pages in your passport.
