I want to be rid of my awful ex Husband's name and was planning on applying for a new passport, BUT I do not want a Blue one and mine still has 5 years to run...

YABU: get a blue passport
YANBU: stick with the arsehole's name to avoid a shitty blue passport, wave your EU passport for as long as you can

AIBU?

Get a new passport now. I just renewed mine and it is red.

RhodaDendron · 15/02/2020 13:47

Yes, just renewed my daughters and it’s red. Do it at once!

Cric · 15/02/2020 13:48

The new passport is the same but where it says the European Union at the top, that is just blank now. We just renewed one of ours

Save your money, let the red run it’s course.

slashlover · 15/02/2020 14:09

How often are you actually using your passport? Is it once for two weeks per year or do you need it daily? Is it worth spending the money to renew compared to how often you use it?

YABU and really rather silly. Whether you like it or not, we’re out of the EU and you have to face up to that.

mrsbyers · 15/02/2020 14:27

There are no blue passports

AriadnesFilament · 15/02/2020 14:42

I agree but I don't think the OP is big on reality, we've only known for four years that we would be leaving the EU.

What's wrong with a blue passport?

MereDintofPandiculation · 15/02/2020 15:27

Change it, and if you don't like the new one, google "EU passport cover" for a cover.

Alternatively, think "why spend £85 because of my ex".

mynamechangemyrules · 16/02/2020 05:53

I use my passport monthly minimum. Thanks for the v amusing replies, haha! Hilarious!

Yes, I know we are leaving, I'm just not stupid enough to think it's a good thing.

I'd get a new passport and if it is blue buy a burgundy cover
