• A valid passport
• Birth certificate
• Bank card

If you have one or all of these then you’re good to go. If you don’t, you can apply for them online:

• Apply for a first passport (if aged 15 or below): https://www.gov.uk/get-a-child-passport 
• Apply for your first adult passport (16+): https://www.gov.uk/apply-first-adult-passport 
• Apply for a replacement birth certificate:
