I'm due to travel with my 2 pre-schoolers to Switzerland on Wednesday but have just seen one of my sons' passports expired last week. There're no 1-day emergency renewal appointments anywhere in the UK before Thursday, there aren't any cancelllations and you can't just turn up and wait. One easyjet employee suggested contacting the local embassy (but none exist when you're in your own country) to get a temporary passport, but everything I've tried around the home office points me back to the passport application service. Has anyone resolved a similar situation before and how?!
