us border control salutes you

Had to find this out myself in the last few weeks. Just make sure you bring both passports.

Are you not supposed to return/destroy the old one?

Don’t think so? Pretty sure I have an old passport here somewhere

I have the house full of them.

I thought as much. Treatystones talking bollix again.

Looks like I am. You only need to return it if it has over a year left on it.

If your current passport has more than 12 months validity at the time of your renewal application, you will have to send the original passport by post

They return it then with corners cut off.

Why do you need a visa to go for short trip to US?

Have had difficulties with us border control previously. Visa helps avoid a repeat of them.

After getting the boys’ mugshots, doing the first online bit, printing up the stuff that needed to be signed by the guards in our presence etc etc, I got the applications posted off in the last month of June. We received both passports back this week (Wednesday for one and the second today quite randomly, despite linking the applications). It’s gas that, because the service has been so shit and all the publicity that went with it, I was hugely impressed by the 1-month turnaround.

That’s how they go. Fill you with horror stories so you will be delighted when you get it double the lead time advertised.

Anybody tell me how to order a passport card?

On the same webpage as a regular passport

Don’t, they’re useless
