I need to send my passport off in Jan and I've gotten the picture taken and form ready, just need someone to counter sign. The trip as part of my uni course is in April to France so, to be honest I thought I was getting it done in good time. I've just read an email that says they need it before Feburary for the travel agent and so now I'm worried it won't be in on time.
Earliest I can send off the application is 5th jan because that's when I go back to uni and have some details to hand I don't have at home. I also can't travel down to get it on the day because I'm a student and it's twice as much to do, plus a train ticket that costs as much as the passport itself.
My question is why would the travel agent need my passport two months in advance of us traveling to France? I didn't think you needed a passport to book holidays or flights? You need the number but that can be done a couple of weeks before? I'm hoping she is saying February just so the uni know I'm actually getting one and that a few days late won't matter what do you think?
The alternative is just going on a local trip to the Lake District and may or may not have to pay for the France trip on top of that even if I don't go.
