Do I need to submit my old passport when applying for a new one?

Yes, you are required to submit your old passport when applying for a new one. The HM Passport Office requires your old passport to be submitted as part of the application process for a new passport. This is to ensure the proper cancellation and invalidation of the old passport in accordance with international regulations and to prevent misuse or duplication. It is imperative that your old passport is included along with your application to avoid any delays or complications in the process. Additionally, be sure to follow the guidelines provided by HM Passport Office for submitting your old passport, including any necessary photocopies or documentation.
