But is this genuine? How could you not know if you are going to Mallorca or Zante?

Genuine typo.Although me and my mates where planning on going there that's probably why it entered my mind.

Ah, I was a bit puzzled with having to be 18 to go. I'm in Scotland though, so I guess I was thinking 16 is an adult. Bit weird how you can get married and have a baby but not have a beer or a cigarette. :rotfl:

Im in Scotland too and we all have British passports so I dont see how 18 can be the magic number here...

Anyhoooo I hope the OP demanded her passport from her dad, I think her parents are being completely out of order here. Surely they raised her properly in which case they should trust her judgement.......

One mis-typed letter can change the whole meaning.
I could give examples but I'm on my best behaviour.

One point, the OP's parents know him a lot better than we do, they have information we don't.
I know if it was me I wouldn't waste today communicating with us I'd be making sure I got my damn passport.

I think I can smell a supernatural being in Norse mythology. (who are of course very nice 'people').

I agree. The parents still has a right to hold his passport if they want to... until he's 18, at least. Sorry about your expenses, OP, but you should've asked for a decent permission first before paying anything - doing it the other way around just won't work

Sorry OP... should have clicked you're male from user name!

There seems to be a few mentions of 18 being a magic age. Whilst it's true that some air carriers, and hotels as well, won't accept bookings from under 18's, AFAIA a passport is 'owned' by the holder, irrespective of age.

Actually - if you look inside and read the blurb on the first page of your passport it tells you it the property of Her Majesty's Government - but that aside - at 16 IPS consider you an adult and therefore you can apply for your own passport - no parents permission is required - that was changed a few years ago.

There are offices open this Sunday for fast-track and Premium appointments

I've booked a holiday to Mallorca in 3 days time.

So, where are you? Did you manage to get your passport or did £440 go down the drain?
