    Fast track for a child  passport in 1 week so it looks like she is out of luck.

    Can she move the dates of the holiday?

    Not without significant financial penalties, so that's a last resort. 

    She's on the phone to the passport office first thing, so i have my all my fingers and toes crossed for her
