when you turn 18 do you need a new passport
As you are now over 16, the passport that you're applying now would be an adult passport already as it is. So there is no need to get a new passport when you turn 18.This new adult passport will be valid for 10 years, so your next renewal would be when you're 27. If your previous passport was held in your own name, you should apply for this new passport as 10-year renewal adult passport.m the same situation im a Polish citizen and im turning 18 this april now my passport expired in June and i went ot the polish embassy here in NYC and i applied for a new one so i would say no you dont need a new one when you turn 18 polish passports are for 10 years im not sure about UK. dAmIAnOO Â· 7 years ago.
