Passport help 07:20 - Jun 29 with 1644 views | abracaDOBRA_ | So I’ve lost my passport (it is somewhere in my house I’m sure) but I’m meant to be booking a holiday today and don’t want to hold up the party… anyone know a way I can book a flight without my passport number?

That’s what I thought, cheers for that. Fingers crossed I find it! |  | |  |

Scratch that. Just been delivered so, less than a week to renew. |  |

Good advice, and I always have physical photocopies of the information pages of my passport about my person when I walk around in foreign parts. Protection against having my passport lifted or taken by force but I have a document that will serve as legal identification by authorities if stopped and requested. |  |

Confirming this. Some airlines do ask for passport information, but they have no way of checking if it is accurate. You can put any old nonsense in to book the flight and change it before check-in which is when it is passed over to the relevant country. [Post edited 29 Jun 2023 9:40]

Wow, that's quick for this time of year. I renewed mine last April (2022) and took about 3 or 4 weeks as I recall. |  |

Ha ha! Password photos are always terrible. I hate that you can't smile so you look like a miserable tw@t on your passport. |  |
