Question

Does my passport number change when I renew my passport in the UK?

Answer 1

Yes.

This causes a lot of extra paper work when resident outside the UK.

Answer 2

New passport new number.

Answer 3

of course it does,it is a matter of security, if you were to loose your passport, they would certainly not reproduce a passport with the same number,

it would create many problems, for you and the country that gave you a passport,

Answer 4

It surely does my friend..

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

Yes it does, be careful, sometimes they make mistakes, my mum had her place of birth changed, she cannot put it right now, incredible ! I am so worried about my passport running out ! Better be abroad when it does, otherwise they might loose it in the post and you would be stuck in UK forever !

Answer 7

Each renewed passport gets a unique number. No two passports can have the same number. You will get used to the new number after a while.
