Passport renewal

Congratulations! I need to renew mine but late DH has put the passports in such a safe place that they will never be seen again so I will have to start from scratch. Is it worth it? I live in hope that it will be.

travelnan my Dad's coming with us to Lanzarote next month. He's 91 ?

Passports are a good proof of identity as lots of us get the ubiquitous 'utility bill' on line. So worth keeping current.

I have literally just done ours online it was so easy and a little cheaper than if you go to the post office. We had our photos done at the local Max Speilman photo shop or you can go to a photo booth and it gives you a code to enter in and your photos just pop up on screen answer a few more simple questions and your card details and it was all done. You can still renew it if you have lost your passport there was a tick box to specify that.

Well done Travelnan that’s the way!
Go for it GrannySometset!

Just need to solve the photograph problem then.

I took my photo at home on my phone, then uploaded it to the application form at the relevant section.
It took several tries before I got one the website accepted though: too many shadows, or couldn't see the whole of my eyes if I had my glasses on.
I ended up upstairs on the landing where the light was better, standing against a white wall and not wearing my glasses.
Got there in the end!

Its free over a certain age.

I renewed my mums when she was 80+ and i remember it being free.
