Contact details

You can contact us about your application for a Home Office travel document by phone or post. You cannot apply for or enquire about a Home Office travel document in person at our public enquiry offices, and they cannot accept documents in support of your application. Please note that we will only deal with an application out of turn if there is a medical emergency or a family funeral. In these cases documentary evidence must be submitted in the form of a recent medical report, doctor's letter or death certificate by fax before we can consider giving an application priority. If no evidence is submitted, or it is decided that priority consideration is not appropriate, the application will be dealt with in date order.
