@blossomingbirds: I hope this message highlighting my lack of awareness helps save another persons holiday. 🫶🏼 I knew about making sure there was 6 months left before expiry date but was unaware of the rule that it couldn’t be over 10 years since issue. I know there’s plenty of know it alls 😜 but for some of us, we’ve still missed the message of checking the issue date. There’s worse in life than not getting on your holiday but I do feel a little gutted 💕 #britishpassport #eutravel

How is this even legal? You have paid for that passport and it is still valid.

So bad, especially when you have to put your passport details in when you book. surely it should be flagged?

o yeah that's right a ten year passport isn't a ten year passport. the expiry date is totally irrelevant

What’s the point of having a 10 year passport when it doesn’t even last 10 years 😡 Should be 10 years and 6 months so u can use it for the full 10 years and then have 6 months to renew it!!!

What is actually the point in having expiry dates on passports if they basically expire before they expire if you get me

in my humble opinion an expiry date should mean one can travel within that period, ensuring your travel factors being in issuing country a day before expiry. the reason for a year before? what's the reason?

Wendy Hansen 🇩🇰🇬🇧 :
This explains why it happens: If you renewed your passport before it expired, the UK Passport Office would carry over any unused time from the old passport onto the new one, up to a maximum of 9 months. So if you renewed 8 months early, your new passport could be valid for 10 years and 8 months. The UK stopped doing this in September 2018. From then on, passports were issued for 10 years only. The reason it became a problem is Brexit. When the UK was an EU member, none of this really mattered for travel within the EU. After Brexit, British citizens became "third country nationals" under Schengen rules. Those rules say a passport must: 1) Have been issued within the previous 10 years. 2) Usually have at least 3 months remaining after the planned departure date. So while your passport is still valid for the UK and for many countries outside the EU. The problem is that the Schengen Area applies a separate rule based on when the passport was issued. So if your passport was issued before September 2018, double check the passport rules for the place you are travelling to and the dates in your passport.
