Emergency Passport!
Hi Guys,
Bit of a odd question I suppose, I was supoosed to fly back to the UK for my Brothers wedding on May 14th I was going to book a last min flight due to work commitments but upon going through my passport info etc this weekend i realised my passport had run out back in June 2008!! I cant believe i didnt notice and feel a bit stupid, I have checked out the renewal info but it looks pretty slim i'd get it back in time as the wedding is 3 weeks away, has anyone applied for an emergency one before and if so what is needed to make this possible?
Thanks!

Re: Emergency Passport!
Didn't think there was such a thing as an emergency passport for Brits anymore? Are you sure they still do them?
Edit: never mind, have just had a quick look at the UKIP website and they do do them - last time I tried was for my old boss and he couldn't one, but it was just after 9/11 and I think they clamped down and stopped doing them for a while. Looks as though you can still get them - although it does say you have to go to an office in person in the UK, but sure there must be a way of getting one if abroad as well!

BUT I recently applied for and got my passport from Washington in about 3 weeks recently so if you get your's off quickly you never know (there is a place to put your travel date on the application) and I think you can pay extra for faster delivery.
