Passport Information
Brunel University requires all students registering for our courses to provide their passport at registration. This serves a dual purpose: to verify your identity before we admit you to the course, and an immigration check to ensure we are meeting our UKBA compliance regulations and not admitting anyone to the university who does not have the appropriate immigration status to study in the UK.
If you do not currently have a passport you must apply for one before you register as a student at Brunel. Please allow enough time to have your passport application processed.
International students
To meet UKBA regulations we need to keep a copy of your passport on file. If you would like to speed up the Registration process by electronically sending us a copy to attach to your file now, please do. For more information on how to upload your passport or visa please view our Passport Guide for registration. Please note that even if you have uploaded a copy, you will still need to bring the original passport with you to Register.
I need to send my passport to Student Finance / the Home Office / somewhere else - what should I do?
If you need to send your passport somewhere and it cannot wait until after Registration, you should ensure you get at least one certified copy of the passport before you send it. The copies should be certified by someone in authority such as a solicitor, notary, doctor or bank manager. Some UK post offices also offer this service.
