Re: UK Passport Renewal in US
Lynne,
It should be fine to photocopy it without affecting the chip. BTW - the chip is new to me...is it for tracking purposes incase there's an accident? I got mine rather quickly also - I think it took about a fortnight. Thank goodness I didn't need to renew an American passport -they're well backlogged. I go home to Southport in three weeks
Chips and gravy here I come!

Re: UK Passport Renewal in US
I am a UK Citizen living in the US (Nevada) as a permanent resident. My UK
Passport expires in December 2007. I think the closest place to renew it is
in Los Angeles. My question is,do I actually have to go there to get my new
passport,or can I do it by mail? If so,which site do I have to go on or who
do I have to call. I think that US citizens can do it at the post
office,but I have the feeling I won't be so lucky !
thanks

Re: UK Passport Renewal in US
Have another question - anyone been 'home' lately and used a credit card? Last time I was back a couple of places refused my card as it didn't have a 'chip' in it! Can you get cards here that have chips???

Re: UK Passport Renewal in US
Most places don't have a problem - they can still just swipe the card like they used to do. However I did come across one place a while back that were probably just too dumb to know what to do with a non-chipped card. I even tried to argue the point with the manager but they refused to accept it. They may just have been confused as it was all new at that time.

It's not a problem in most places. My wife once had a bit of a discussion at Tesco's. The cashier insisted that all credit cards had PIN's, but after a while she allowed her to do it the 'old fashioned way'.

Re: UK Passport Renewal in US
I've just found the forum while looking for answers on renewals. Great info here! But, does anyone have an answer to my problem? Who can sign the back of my new photos? I'm in Yuma, Arizona, and don't have any local "Members of Parliament" to sign. Who do you use????
