    That's the thing about passports these days, less used for travelling abroad, and more for sailing the seas of Red Tape...


    You are good with your friends, so it's not quite "luck".

    Passports are more like ID badges , along with driving licence cards.

    And the formerly proposed ID cards would not have replaced either, so you would have been required to produce a triumvirate of ID card, passport AND drivers license to prove who you are. Yes really!

    And the costs of the whole failed fiasco were pushed onto the passport office which is why passports are so expensive these days.

    I'm not bad at flatpacks, beanie, but even I like to start stuff like that when I'm fresh (apart from when I've just moved :) )

    Yep, do it when you're fresh and allocate yourself plenty time.

    If you allocate 30 minutes, it'll take six hours as you will rush and not do it right and will have to re-do. Allocate 2 hours, it'll take 40 minutes and that will include 10 minutes looking for section 7 in a six-section manual...

    Also, drink plenty tea (with real sugar).
