I have a wee bit of a dilemna. My husband and I recently moved to a temporary residence while our house is being built and I cannot for the life of me find my UK passport. Its due to expire in July this year and I think that I have to send the old one in to get a new one? Has anyone ever been in this situation? I have torn the place apart looking for it and I just cannot figure out where the heck it could have got to.

Thanks for any advice,

Kat

I really don't know where is your passport
I think first you have to declare you lost your passport and you go for a new one

UK Passport Agency - What to do if you lose your passport

Hope this helps.

You will probably find it when you have applied for a new one!!

Prolly OK as the OP's passport is close to expiry anyway

If it helps in anyway I just renewed my UK passport from the US as it was close to expiring and I was going on vacation a short while after this to see my family back in London. I downloaded the form from the UK embassy in Washington D.C. at their website - British Embassy in ther US. It does state in the form that you need to send your old passport to them so they can make it void and issue you a renewed passport(they send the old one back but they punch holes in it). This page from the UK Embassy's website may help - Renewing your passport

Thanks everyone. I found the darn thing in my husbands car when he was cleaning it out! It must have fallen out of a file at some point in time, but I have it now to renew it
