The cost is €185 for an adult passport and if you go on the website for the british consulate in madrid you can print of a c1 form which is the application. Offex mail service will pick them up from any british postroom and take them to madrid for the fee of €29. They do not bring them back but i am sure if you do not have a relaible address to receive mail from the consulates own courier the postroom will let you use their address for a small fee.

If you are planning on visiting the UK and have the time available, renew it there and avoid this rip-off! It's the same wherever you are outside the UK, but at virtually double the cost of doing it in the UK I think, it seems a bit unfair to me.

Anyone know how much to renew a Spanish passport by the way? I suspect many of us could save quite a bit by switching allegiance!

If you do not live in the UK you can apply in person to renew your passport whilst visiting the UK. You should follow the instructions for When should I apply?

Obviously not worth the cost of a flight just to renew, but if visiting anyway, as many do, well worth it I think.

Now, come on Morepinkstuff. Get Googling and tell us how much for a Spanish passie renewal. Would also be interesting to know how much a Spaniard gets conned if renewing outside of Spain. (That's harder to find out, so extra points if you can tell us that!)

Sorry, you know I'd tell you the cost of a Spanish passport if I could read Spanish.

I thought the numbers translated easily enough: €17.20 - what a steal! No idea what it costs to renew abroad though. Help needed with that one, Maria, please.
