Passport + EHic card

[Mitch4?]

Well seeing as nothing in my life is straight forward, i thought a month in advance to me going on holiday i would check my passport and ehic card.
Well
theyve spelt my name wrong on the Ehic card,
and my passport has expired
LOL


I've sent off for my new passport now, do you think i will get it for the 14th february. Well 13th because i travel morning of 14th.
And my Ehic card, will it make a difference?!
god lol

Well good job you noticed in time that your passport expires, I think you have every chance of it arriving in plenty of time. As for your EHIC Card, why not give them a ring and ask if it's a problem: Apply by phone - call 0845 606 2030. Your card will be delivered within 10 days.

The EHIC card is valid for about 4 weeks when you go somewhere in Europe.

I thought they were valid for 5 years?

I applied this time last year, and had complications over my birth certificate, which eventually was resolved, after getting a duplicate, and the whole process was very speedy, it's a good time of year, and since your one is a renewal should be relatively easy to re-issue. You can ring them, and ask what stage your renewal is at, so maybe to put your mind at ease, give them a call.

went on the passport website and for renewal, theres a fast track option but i duno if u can call up n see if u can change to that option (probably for extra charge) but if u dnt think u'll get ur passport in time, then its worth a try.

[Andeeh]

aint it like 6 weeks or summin? well good luck and have a nice holiday

I think you have a reasonable chance of getting it well before then. As it's not your first passport i don't think they take as long.
