Going on holiday? Check your passports!

Annual public service announcement!

Do you know where all the family passports are?

Are they all in date and have enough time from issue date for your destination?

Have you checked the kids passports especially? As a shorter term it’s very easy to run out of time and not notice as yours is still ok.

Is your passport in the right name for your flight/hotel?

I just renewed mine and it took exactly 7 days on the standard service so now is clearly a good time to get it sorted. Every year there’s some poor sod on here traumatised the night before a holiday because of passport woes! Don’t let it be you.

Find it, check it, sort it!

And relax

and don't forget it is now 'from the date of issue' rather than the expiry date.

Me, not at all cross I've only had 9 years worth of use out of my last 10 yr passport
