Lost Passport

Ring the passport office as soon as you can. Eight days before flying to Spain this summer my friend realised her childrens passports had expired. She contacted the passport office who told her their nearest appointment was almost three weeks later!

She did have to grovel and beg to get an earlier one, but it wasn't a case of just turning up on the day you want and they'll give you a new one. The wait shouldn't be as long as she had for an appointment because in fairness hers was in the middle of August-so obviously height of season.

Funny you should say this mate, as I've just been to Liverpool today to pick up a replacement passport for my sister who is also flying on saturday to the states. She recently discovered that hers was just out of date so panicked a bit. £96.50 and 4 hours seeing the sights of the lovely Liverpool. :)

Apart from reporting the loss to the police etc......

 

Fast tracking a replacement for an out of date passport can be done in a day, providing you get an appointment, have all the necessary documentation and the fee. Get there, get the forms in and go back to collect the new one in three / four hours.

 

Fast tracking a replacement for a lost passport takes a week from the day you hand your forms in, no buts / tears / excuses / bribes.

Thats what it says on the website....got to London at 7.45am this morning and managed to get one :D

 

As long as your old one has a scanned picture & hologram in it your OK. They can then find the picture on the computer. The people on reception and the phone try and fob you off but as long as you get an appointment upstairs they don't really check much.

 

If you have one of the older styles with just a photo stuck in it the only way they will fast track it same day is in a life or death situation or with a urgent letter from your work.

 

Woohooo holiday on Saturday :D:D
