DP has one of those passports that needs renewing before expirly because of the 10 year thing.
So, as soon as we got back from our last trip, and without any overseas work lined up, he sent it off for renewal. That was 3 weeks ago.
He's SE and since then he's had to turn down two lucrative jobs in Germany because he doesn't know when his passport will be back.
Obviously it's too late for him now, but what should he have done? What do people who can't be without a passport do?
