A UK Passport application form must be used to apply for your BOTC passport. In section 8 please indicate that you are renewing an application for a British Overseas Territory Passport (BOT)for the British Virgin Islands or attaching a separate note to advise as such.

Passport applications can be collected from any Royal Mail Post Office in the UK.

Applicants who apply for BOTC passports within the UK will be issued a non-variant book which would look identical to your UK passport on its cover. Virgin Islands will not be inscribed on the front cover of your new passport, however your identity as a British Overseas Territory Citizen (BOTC) will be noted under the nationality section on the biometric page.
