To apply online you need:

  • a laptop, desktop or Mac computer (mobile devices and tablets are not supported)

  • a credit or debit card, or your bank details to set up a Direct Debit.

This year, the Direct Debit application process is fully online, so you won't need to send any part of the application through the post.

New applications also require a passport photo which is:
