Hi there, I'm British living in Thailand. I'm trying to do a renewal for my daughter's British passport but it's asking for supporting documents for proof of address like educational / school records or health card with address on it. Has anyone renewed a child British passport in Bangkok before? Under 11. I'm having a lot of difficulty with the school as they are saying something stupid that they can't provide due to her not attending school during covid but she's been learning online there whenever they offered it

TLDR : Answer Summary
A British expatriate in Thailand is seeking advice on renewing their daughter's British passport, focusing on the proof of address required. They are encountering difficulties with their child's school regarding the documentation needed due to the impact of COVID-19 on schooling. Community members provide various suggestions, including using letters from schools that specify enrollment and submitting report cards as proof of address. One expat shares their successful experience in having a teacher's letter signed to confirm identity and address.

I recently renewed by son’s U.K. passport from the U.K. whilst he was in Thailand. I was asked for a letter from his teacher confirming his address, his identity and that she taught him. I typed a letter myself, giving the address of the school, teachers name & contact number. I sent the letter to my Wife in Thailand via email for her to print and get the teacher to sign before she photographed it and emailed it back to me to print off and forward to the U.K. passport office. They sent the renewal passport directly to the Trendy Building in Bangkok for my wife to collect.

They gave me a letter but I don't think it can be used as the address is not in letter format

I just showed a copy of his latest report. If you renewing in Bangkok the staff at VFS are very helpful.

I applied for my daughter's renewal a few weeks ago with a letter from the school. On the letter, they used the word "enrolled" rather than attending.
