Uploading a copy of your passport

If your passport has expired, please send a copy of the expired passport plus another form of ID.

If you do not have a passport, you may upload a copy of your National Identity Card instead. 

If you don't have a passport or a National Identity Card, please use some other form of photo ID such as a driving license or a bus pass that shows your name and date of birth.

If you have dual nationality please send copies of both passports.

If you will need a visa to study at Christ's, please read the further information. 

If you completed a fee status questionnaire during the application process and included a copy of your passport, you still need to upload a copy of your passport now. 

If you received your offer in Jan 2023 or Jan 2024, we would like you to upload your passport if your offer is for Oct 2025 entry, even if you have already uploaded it in a previous year. Many thanks. 

Please follow these steps to email a scan of your passport to us.

STEP 1: Make a copy of your passport (or National Identity Card if you don't have a passport) and save to pdf.

If you have a phone, you may find that you can use CamScanner to do this - it's an app that turns a phone into a scanner and allows you to save the image as a pdf (if you have other software that you prefer to use, that is fine). Alternatively you could take a photo of your passport, insert it into a Word or other text document, save it as a pdf and then upload it.
 

STEP 2: Please save your pdf on your computer with the file name in this specific format:
13. Subject - FAMILY NAME First name - Passport (Nationality) - UCAS Personal ID (with no dashes)

Here's an example: for the fictional Kate Karlsson holding an offer for Natural Sciences (Biological), the file name might be

13 - Natural Sciences (Biological) - KARLSSON Kate - Passport (Swedish) - 1083829347

Note that there is a space before and after each hypen, and there is a number at the beginning.
 

STEP 3: Please open the file on your computer and check that it is legible. 
 

STEP 4: Please then complete the following upload tool, which includes a question that allows you to upload your pdf. Please make sure that you see the confirmation screen once you have clicked on submit form.

If we have a problem opening the file or if there's something wrong with the document you have sent for some reason, we'll let you know (as ever).

Thank you for your help in sending your passport scan following our instructions - it helps us to process everything for you as efficiently and accurately as possible.
