Passport Renewals

Re: Passport Renewals
Won't you need in date ones to leave Aus/enter the UK?
You are supposed to have a permanent address but people do it because it is cheaper. There are several threads on the subject.

Perhaps children have Australian passports?

We did a few yrs ago, same day service @ Liverpool passport office. Not cheap for 3 though. Now we have Aussie passports we've let the UK ones expire. You can enter UK on an expired UK passport BTW.

An expired passport is not a valid travel document, I'm not sure that an airline would let you on board if thats all you had, having said that I have travelled before on a PP with "issues" but still managed to get into the UK.

This was also possible at the London, Victoria PP office a few years ago.

Re: Passport Renewals
I am just in the process of applying for Aussie passports and i was wondering what to do with the uk passports when they run out so after reading this i might not bother as its so expensive to do.

I am planning to renew my UK one when I go back in December.
I think a current UK passport is a good thing to have - if not for access to the UK, but for access to the rest of Europe without needing visas and such.

Re: Passport Renewals
Yes i forgot about that but to be honest the price of flying back to the uk anytime in the near future is going to be very slim so i will decide near the time they are needed to be done its not for a few years yet so better start saving now

Re: Passport Renewals
Hi There
Thanks for the replies. I will be travelling back on my own, my passport has another year to go. 2 of my childrens passports have expired and we plan a holiday overseas next year but won't be citizens by then so they will have no valid passport.

Re: Passport Renewals
Does anyone know if there is any sort of time limit on renewing expired British passports? Our sons expired a couple of years ago and even though he doesn't need it, I would like to get it renewed at some point but can't afford it at the moment.
