Passport Question?

I just realised my passport is going to expire on the 20th of this month...Will there be a fine or extra cost in obtaining a new one if I miss this deadline?

Also, would I need to send my current one back for the renewal? :confused:


Many Thanks

    you send it with the forms and they give it back with a new shiny passport too.

    Many Thanks

    but until you have a valid passport you cannot travel - fill in an application form and send it along with your passport 2 identical photos and the fee
    Titch :)

    All the details here

    For appointments, be aware that you have to book in advance but if you have all the details required on the day then it's super quick.

    I got my new passport in April on the same day and a nice jumbo sized one as well. Hefty amount to pay but thankfully the company paid for it
