Mine is due to expire in July this year and the new type passports are due to come on stream from October.
1. If I renew mine in June/July /August I presume I will NOT get one with the new 'chip' included in it ?
2. I have no current plans to travel outside the EU this year, but I need a passport to go to any EU country (other than the UK) ?
3. When renewing a passport can you keep you old one ?
(I did a round-the-world trip in '04 and I would like to keep my current passport when it expires).
If not, what is the procedure for reporting a "lost" passport ?
My Passport is up for renewal later on this year, does it matter if I get passport renewed earlier, I presume the new one will have the start date when the old one expires?
