Till you have to renew it, I never realised how much hastle and expensive renewing your passport can be! I mean…. I already have a passport, but its coming up to expire and I wanted to get it sorted now as many countries won’t let you enter if you have less than six months left on your passport. So I got all the documents, filled it out, had my photo’s done at a photo machine inside an airport and took it all to the post office. It turns out the photos I had done are NOT passport standard! I tried to have another done in the automated machine insdie the post office and they came out bum too! In the end I went down to the Chemist where it is done by a human and they came out fine. It really makes me think, a machine still can’t do things as well as a human perhaps. Also the passport office are really strict! If you are having a passport from scratch as of April 2007 it can take up to 6 weeks and you can be called in for an interview before they issue you with one. Serious. So if you are going on holiday, make sure you get your passport done in plenty of time, otherwise it may end up costing a lot of money and possibly your holiday. As it is it costs £66. Happy holidays!
