Renewing your passport

[TSB]

Anyone know if there are any loopholes in the 14-day wait?

Mine is out of date at start of march and i plan to go on holiday on 26th February, it's only come up at the last minute, not poor planning (for once).

Could i drive somewhere to get it renewed quicker?

Please help

I did a similar thing but it was in 1989 when i was going to Florida.I had to go to London (mt pleasant i think)and got it sorted there and then.It could have changed now though.Good luck!.

Whatever you do, do not, repeat NOT, entrust it to 'Special Mail Services'. You'll take a day off work, wait in from 8 in the morning til 6 at night, then find a 'We called but you were out' note on your doorstep. No, really. Pay whatever it takes to keep it out of their evil clutches.

A friend of mine got an emergency passport as he was flying to Tanzania the following day. He had a bit of a mission in London, but got it through. I think it cost him a bit more.....

There is one a short stroll from Victoria, but you do need an appointment and they won't let you in until 15 mins beforehand either

apply in person at the ukpa office in London , try a google and find out the info from there (ukpa = uk passport agency)
