How to replace my passport?

How do I replace or renew my South African Passport in the UK / London?

• I wonder if anyone can help me... I have been living in the UK for a few years now and without realising it, my South African Passport is about to expire! Now, this is a big problem, as I have to go away next month for business and the South African Consulate said that it will take up to 6 months to get my new Passport? What do I do? Please help? Is there anyone or any alternative service that would be able to assist me in getting my new South African Passport within a month?? HELP!

  Hi Darren, Funny you ask this question. I have just been through a very similar situation where I had a family emergency and had to rush back to South Africa, but my South African Passport had just expired. I needed to get my Passport Replaced and quickly! I couldnt go through the SA Consulate as they would as you know take forever to get my passport back. My brother in law did a bit of research and found a company called SA Fast Track through Google. They offer a service whereby they renew or replace your South African Passport within 2 weeks even if you living in the Uk or abroad. I had no other option but to use them. I met with one of their consultants. They were very helpful and guided me every step of the way. I left feeling alot better. They then kept me in the loop throughout the process. They honestly made this task very simple and easy! One and a half weeks past and I got a call from them saying that my passport was ready for collection. I was thrilled! I highly recomend you give them a call! They will definately be able to assist you! There number is 02081239436 or you can check their website at www.southafricanpassports.com I hope this information helps you! and Good luck! L x
