Not Got A Passport - Get One Now

It was reported in the press yesterday that from next year first time passport applicants will need to undergo a 20 minute interview at a passport office if you live within one hours drive or by video link if you are further away which may also add to the cost of the passport. To save yourself the hassle, if you or the kids dont already have a passport, get one this year.

    Yes. 20 Min interview, up to an hours drive, find some parking, probably running late, all equals more expense more inconvenience, more regulation.

    Got mine though.

    My OH told me about that. I'm glad it's not this year as I have to get my daughters a passport each next month.

    I think it will make the whole process very difficult and the government are bound to mess up somewhere.
