British Passport Denver

Denver, known as the “Mile High City” because of its elevation of 5,280 feet, is the capital of Colorado and is one of the fastest growing cities in America. The Denver Metropolitan area is the 19th most populous metro area with a population approaching 3 million people. The region’s growing and diverse economy—along with its proximity to Rocky Mountain ski resorts—make Denver an attractive destination for people seeking a more active and balanced lifestyle. The Denver Metropolitan area includes the towns of Arvada, Aurora, Castle Rock, Centennial, Lakewood, Littleton, Thornton, and Westminster.

Denver got its start as a frontier town typical of many other towns in the American Wild West. Complete with saloonkeepers, prostitutes, gamblers and other hucksters, Denver was a rugged and lawless place full of fortune seekers, just like how San Francisco was during its Gold Rush days. In fact, gold was also discovered in Colorado in 1850, and another discovery was made in 1858 kicking off the “Pike’s Peak Gold Rush” era. Although not as much gold was mined in Colorado as compared to California, this discovery of gold, and the subsequent discovery of silver in 1864 gave rise to Denver as a supply and service center for the mining industry.

Just as in years past, people are still flocking to Denver to take advantage of the growing job market as many high-tech industries are swooping into the area from California. Denver’s educated workforce and outdoor attractions are appealing to internet technology companies seeking a change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. Denver also has a diverse economy and strong foundation of Fortune 500 companies operating in various industries such as healthcare, financial services, media, apparel, electronics, mining, aerospace, energy, and food and beverage.

Denver welcomes over 31 million visitors each year and is the jumping off point for some of the best ski resorts in the United States. Keystone, Breckenridge, Winter Park, Vail, and Beaver Creek are popular ski resorts within a two-hour drive from Denver. From whitewater rafting on the Colorado River to horseback riding in the Rockies, this region of the country is a paradise for outdoor adventure seekers. The city itself has plenty of hip neighborhoods with lots of great restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and music venues. While there are no more than 15,000 British living in the state of Colorado, visitors from the U.K. have been increasing in recent years.

Denver International Airport (DEN) is the fifth-busiest airport in the United States and provides nonstop service to 26 international destinations, including the United Kingdom. British Airways and United Airlines have nonstop service to London-Heathrow and Norwegian Air has seasonal nonstop service to London-Gatwick. DEN is a hub for United Airlines, Frontier Airlines, and Southwest Airlines. The Wall Street Journal ranks DEN as the best airport in the United States and get high marks for overall passenger experience.

Denver does not have a British consulate, so if you are a British national living in or visiting Colorado and require urgent assistance, you must call the British consulate in Chicago by dialing +1 312 970 3800. The British consulate in Chicago can also provide an emergency passport if you are stuck abroad and need to return quickly to the United Kingdom.

Here is their physical address:
