  • Answer:

    Your passport is valid until the expiry date that's printed on it, next to your photograph. If you're travelling within the EU there is no need to renew it early, though if you do, any leftover time will be added to the 10 years on your new adult passport. This time of year a passport renewal takes less than 2 weeks anyway.

Hi Holly, I hope this helps answer your question. The very fact that your passport runs out in March, means that you will need to get a new one anyway and this will be an adult passport. Some countries will not allow you entry unless you have a certain number of months remaining til the expiry date on your passport. If you are wanting to get an adult passport, you will need to send your application form off at least 6 weeks prior to traveling. This is because you will need to be interviewed as it is a new adult passport. I would say, if your passport is due to expire in March and you want to travel in February, it would be wise to purchase an adult passport and then you are covered and have it ready for the next time you travel. I have provided a couple of link that will give you all the information you need regarding passports. Take care and have a great trip! http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Passports/index.htm http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Passports/Applyingforyourfirstadultpassport/DG_174098

Your passport is still valid to the day it expires. Some countries ask that you have six months left to run on your passport when going, so you might want to check.
