Some advice.


If you are about to renew your passport please take care with your photographs.


The Identity and Passport Service are now very particular with photos specifications.


I was fortunate to use the CO-OP Chemist on Lordship Lane for ours.Various photos were rejected twice and the CO-OP did them again at no charge.But the delays caused by the rejected applications due to the photos was becoming a concern.


It sounds simple but approach with caution.


If you are renewing your passport I would recommend using the Post Office Check & Send service that costs ?8 in addition to the ?77.50 Passport fee.The Post Office will advise you on the spot regarding your photograph rather than the delays with IPS rejecting it.


The ?8 is money well spent to avoid the frustration of rejections.


If you are applying direct to IPS for a first time passport or for a child under 16 please ensure you have plenty of time prior to your intended departure date.

My passport expired in December.


Can I still renew it, or do I have to make a completely fresh application?


Also, if I can renew it, can I wait till I'm actually going abroad or is there a time limit within which you have to renew?


Anyone know?


Edited to say: Gobsmacked at the fee :-S

At least you shouldn't have to go for an interview. I did last month, adds 4 weeks at least to getting one. At least the London office is at Elephant

    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.
