Question

How long before a uk passport expires must I get a new one?

Answer 1

You can get a new passport at any time regardless of the time left on your current passport. However, the passort office will accept renewal applications up to 9 months before expiry and add the unused time to your new passport.



Added note: Some countries will require you to have at least 6 months left on your passport. It is in your interest to apply whilst you still have at least 6 months but no more than 9 months left on your passport.

Answer 2

Must have 6 months left on return to uk

Answer 3

I don't think the airline or Morocco will let you travel for the week or two before the passport expires. Better ask them, here is the link.

Answer 4

If your asking if you have to get a new one when one expires.No

You get one when you want one.But keep your old one.All

country's let you in has long has your passport is valid for your

stay.If it runs out in some you get an extension(stamped piece of paper) from the embassy.

Answer 5

A lot of countries will not let you travel if you have less than 1 year to run on your passport

Answer 6

Well if you get a new one sent off before 10 weeks before it goes out of date it will save you alot of paper work and hassel trust me! So if ur not going away send it a year or half a year before it expries.
