Please be kind I am dyslexic and the first to admit absolutely rubbish at math, planning etc. I have asked family for help on this in real life but no one is able to figure it out. I am asking mumsnet folk for their sage advice.

All our family passports are expired and we are updating them together. Except for youngest DC who (is 9 in June 2023) has validity on their passport till June 2024 when they turn 10.

My question is this:
Should I update their passport along with ours (for easy future admin) or update it this December 2023? We have big travel coming up in 2024 and need 6 months remaining on the passport before travel for visa requirements.

My main concern is 1. how long is a child passport valid for? I'm hoping till 16, when DC can get a new adult passport? I'm looking to save money and bother ahead of time.
