And its more of a pain now, as you need more proof of identity, even if you already have one.

If you need it very quick then an appointment and a trip to a Passport office is in order... Take a good book and be prepared for a long wait ::) ;)

IIRC you can pay the post office to check your ID to avoid sending the originals off.

174 euros if you are a Brit living abroad.

What a rip off! Only took five days though.

I applied for renewal last week and the requirements were surprisingly little.  More needed for all other categories, granted.

If I've misunderstood, we'll not be holidaying and I'll be under a cloud of some magnitude. :-[
