Hope4ID

HOPE4ID arranges IDs for UK and foreign Nationals. Without ID it is very difficult to prove who you are. To get help from statutory services and for employment, you need to be able to prove who you are.

UK birth certificates can be arranged and ordered quickly provided we can find the person on the General Registry Office (GRO) Website. If the person has been adopted, it can be very difficult since the information required is very precise.

Lost and stolen foreign Passports are quite time-consuming and expensive. Each Nationality’s Embassy or Consulate has different requirements. The general rule is that an appointment is booked for the person to attend the country’s Embassy or Consulate. These are normally in Central London or Manchester. It is usually around 6 weeks waiting time for an appointment. We send two volunteers to accompany the person. The necessary paperwork is done, which includes handing over passport photos (each country seems to require a slightly different coloured background!), a registered post envelope, and payment. With the travel costs, it is quite an expensive operation and very time-consuming. The new passport will arrive in around 6 weeks.
