As a Mauritian living in London who recently renewed my passport, here's the current process:Step 1: Gather required documents- Current/expired Mauritian passport- UK residency proof (BRP, visa, etc.)- Two recent passport photos (Mauritian specifications)- Completed application form (available online)- Fee payment (currently £65 for standard processing)Step 2: Submit application- In person: Mauritian High Commission in London (8-10 Bruton Street)- By post: Possible but not recommended due to document security- Appointment: Usually required - call or email firstStep 3: Processing time- Standard: 4-6 weeks- Express: 2-3 weeks (higher fee)- Collection in person or arrange secure return postImportant notes:- Photos must meet specific Mauritian requirements - many UK photo shops aren't familiar with them- Your old passport will be cancelled but returned to you- Children's passports have additional requirements- The High Commission can be busy - be prepared for potential delaysCheck the Mauritian High Commission website for the most current fees and requirements before you go, as these can change. I found going early in the morning mid-week meant shorter wait times.
