Cornish lad Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hi guys looking for some opinions on the what's best todo , my passport runs out in may 2019 ,now have no holidays planned as yet but just wondering what I should do regarding renewal as in most places require a min of 6 months being on your passport to travel with apart from I believe the EU . Now if we leave the EU with or without a deal (which I hope we do ) obtaining a passport could get a bit more difficult regarding changing from EU back to British ones as regards time taken possible , have anyone else given any thoughts to this scenario Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Just renew it, unless you are really wanting the Blue Passport. It will still be valid until it runs out in 10 years. I also believe you can change it when the Blue ones are released, not sure if there is a charge though.

Yes you're probably right there. I guess that the English company thought that they were automatically going to get the contract and jacked the price up. That's greed for you.

OB I loved the irony when they complained about not getting the deal, De la Rue currently print money and documents for other countries and complained when a foreign company won this deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I have a trip in May 2019 and my passport runs out in August 19. I need to renew before my May trip and the new blue passports are not available until Oct 2019 so looks like i will be stuck with the old pink one for 10 years ☹️ Am I correct in thinking that on renewal they no longer date the new passport from the date of expiry of the old one (less 6 months)?

blackbird Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I would just renew it now as then you have plenty of time as for the colour I could not give a #### if it’s red blue or pink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it used to be like your MOT, they renewed it from the date of expiry of the old one (within reason). Now, as we will be under different rules, I do not think you can have a passport issued to expire more than 10 years from the issue date. Unless you renew exactly right this means you loose the amount of time on your passport that you renew early. I guess over your lifetime that means one extra renewal, RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OB Yes, they're the one's, looking forwards to having them back again, think I might burn my burgundy monstrosity once I've got a blue one again 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
