You must fulfil both these criteria 1. You should have more than 6 months outstanding leave to enter/remain before applying for a Travel Document. What if you don't have enough leave? Other countries will often not accept a Travel Document with less than 6 months validity on return to the United Kingdom. If you have 6 months or less outstanding leave to enter or remain (at the time of your application for a Travel Document) you can apply for an extension, although no guarantee can be given that further leave will be granted. Please telephone 0870 241 0645 to obtain an application form for further leave. If further leave is granted you can apply for a Travel Document. Please do not send applications for further leave to the Travel Documents Section. 2. You must be lawfully resident in the UK in one of the following groups (as shown on your Home Office status letter) GRANT OF ASYLUM • You have been recognised as a refugee under the terms of the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. • You can apply for a Convention Travel Document (blue). STATELESS PERSON • You have been recognised as a stateless person under the terms of the 1954 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons. • You can apply for a Stateless Persons' Document (red). INDEFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN (but have not been recognised as a refugee). • You must have first completed a period of limited leave to enter/remain, and subsequently have been granted indefinite leave to remain. • To qualify for a document you must also provide documentary evidence to show that you have been formally and unreasonably refused a Passport/Travel Document by your own National Authorities. This means that you will have to apply for a Passport/Travel Document from your own National Authorities before applying for a Home Office Travel Document. • If your application for a Passport/Travel Document from your own authority is unreasonably refused, then you can apply for a Home Office Certificate of Identity (brown). LIMITED LEAVE TO ENTER/ REMAIN (Grants of limited leave to remain include: -leave to enter/remain on an exceptional basis -discretionary leave to enter/remain -grant of humanitarian protection.) • Grants of exceptional or discretionary leave to enter/remain, and humanitarian protection are known as limited leave, as they are granted with a time limit. They must be based on a failed asylum claim to qualify for a Home Office Travel Document. • To qualify for a document you must also provide documentary evidence to show that you have been formally and unreasonably refused a Passport/Travel Document by your own National Authorities. This means that you will have to apply for a Passport/Travel Document from your own National Authorities before applying for a Home Office Travel Document. • You must specify the country or countries you wish to visit (including any countries you may need to pass through in transit), and provide documentary evidence of your need to travel. This is explained further in the guidance notes under section 7b. • If you fulfil all the criteria under 'LIMITED LEAVE TO ENTER/REMAIN' you can apply for a Home Office Certificate of Identity (brown). 2 TD112 (Rev11) Leave to enter/remain in the United Kingdom Refugee Stateless person Indefinite leave to enter/remain (without refugee status) Limited leave to enter/remain Type of document Convention Travel Document (blue) Fee for an adult document £42 (valid for 10 years) Fee for a child's document £25 (valid for 5 years) £25 (valid for 5 years) £115 (normally valid for 5 years) £115 (normally valid for 1 year, dependent on leave) Stateless Persons' £42 (valid for 10 Document (red) years) Certificate of Identity (brown) Certificate of Identity (brown) £195 (normally valid for 5 years) £195 (normally valid for 1 year, dependent on leave) How to apply for a Travel Document What to do first: Please check that you have all the documents needed for your application: • Two identical endorsed colour photographs should be submitted. • Please enclose either the original or a copy of your valid status letter from the Home Office that shows that you have permission to stay in the United Kingdom and/or a copy of your UK residence permit if you have one. • Enclose any Passport or Travel Document that you have. Certificates of Identity (brown document): If you are applying for a Certificate of Identity, you will need to apply for a Passport/Travel Document from your own National Authority first. If your application for a National Passport/Travel Document has been unreasonably refused, notification of this refusal should be submitted with your application for a Home Office Travel Document. You must also show why the refusal is unreasonable. There are some cases where you will be refused which we would NOT deem to be unreasonable. Some examples of what we would consider to be a reasonable refusal are: • You have been refused a Passport because you have not completed military service. • You have been refused a Passport because you did not provide evidence to confirm your identity. • You have been refused a Passport because you have a criminal record in your country.

Lost or Stolen Documents: • If your previous Travel Document has been lost or stolen or is otherwise unavailable it may take longer to issue a replacement because the Home Office needs to undertake enquiries. • Please remember that the checks made before issuing a Travel Document are necessary to prevent the misuse of identities and on occasion enquiries may take time to resolve. • All applications to replace lost or stolen Travel Documents require a full police report and a clear and concise explanation detailing the circumstances of the loss. 4 TD112 (Rev11) Priority requests • ALL applications are dealt with in the order in which they are received. • The Home Office will only consider dealing with an application out of turn if there is a medical emergency or a family funeral. In this case documentary evidence must be submitted in the form of a recent medical report or doctor's letter by fax on 0208 760 3385 before we can consider giving an application priority. If no evidence is submitted, or it is decided that priority is not appropriate, the application will remain in the queue and will be dealt with in date order. Children It is not possible for children to be named on the Travel Document of their parent or guardian. Children who wish to hold a Travel Document should apply using a separate application form. Children who are aged 15 or under can obtain a child's document. Applicants aged 16 or over must apply for an adult document. The Travel Documents Section do not grant leave.
