Can you remind me about passport validity?

Well it is holiday related (sorry for going slightly off piste.

DD has a 5 year passport expiring in August 23, which was issued in the May 18 (so an extra couple of months' validity).

Can you remind me which date the authorities look at to see whether she can visit (Morocco - which needs 3 months remaining on day of exit)? Would it be the May+ 5 years or August '23.

I'm sure that the EU were just doing 5/10 years from start date post Brexit but was it just them?

Ideally I would like to hold on until DD has her 16th birthday post visit (and can get a 10 year passport rather than a 5 year one) but I don't want her to be denied entry.

The 10 year issue doesn't apply to child passports as they are naturally valid for less than 10 years anyway. You just go by the printed expiry date
