Morning Bert

Did they renew your passport before the old one was sent to them? Have just applied online, but need to get the old one back, hoping someone is flying home who can take it!!

Regards

Kate

My passport expires end of March next year. If I renew now what date will my new passport start?

Since Brexit, most countries only regard British passports as being valid for 10 years from date of issue. So if you had extra months added on when your last passport was issued, it could mean that your passport has already expired for travel to certain countries.
