Avoid passport renewals during Olympics

Wednesday, 02 Jul, 2012 0

Holidaymakers should avoid renewing their passport during the Olympics warns the Identity and Passport Service (IPS).

With the 2012 Games starting on 27 July, customers in London are being told to check their expiry dates now to avoid a sudden rush.

IPS is reminding customers to allow plenty of time should they need to renew their passport and leave at least three weeks for a postal application – longer if it’s a first application.

Anyone wishing to renew their passport can carry over up to nine months remaining on their existing document.

Sarah Rapson, chief executive of the Identity and Passport Service said: "Don’t run the risk of missing out on your summer holiday – check you have a valid passport now. And check before booking your travel."
