I am looking for the most effective way to renew my British passport.
I became a Canadian citizen and started using a Canadian passport thirty years ago and let my British passport lapse.
I want to teach ESL in Europe and so need to reactivate my UK passport.
Any help would be most appreciated.

You just need to apply for a new one and pay the fees. Where are you?

You should be able to just conact the British Consulate in Ottawa I think, and find out if they can mail you a passport form.

You'll need your UK birth certificate to send them as well.

that is correct - contact the Ottawa British Consulate - but be sure to have your full length birth certificate (the rules are about to change apparently).
