I have to renew my UK driving licence but I also need to first renew?

You can renew you UK driving licence on-line. It is quick, easy & you will get your new licence in a few days. (How do I know? I renewed my licence a few weeks ago. Even with COVID-19, the new licence arrived in less than a week). Details here: Renew your driving licence However: This method relies on you having an up to date Passport, as you may have found. You can still renew your licence without a valid passport, but will need to do so via. the post. You can get the forms via. an on-line download or at Post Offices. It will add to the time required, but not by much. As for the new UK passport, you can renew on-line or at the Post Office. (The latter does a check and send service which is very useful for the photographs). Passport Check and Send service Renew or replace your adult passport If you apply on-line, you can upload a digital photograph, though it has to meet some pretty strict specifications. For that reason alone, it can be worthwhile getting actual physical pictures taken at a shop/chemist/quick-photo-lab that offers the service. (Photo-me-booth pictures will not usually be acceptable). Some Post offices that do the check and send service can take the picture for you. Time taken for a new passport is usually about six weeks. Detail in the links. As for which to do first, apply for each one individually at the same time.
