Passport Renewal

[aug06_2006]

Hi there, few months ago I already posted this Topic and sorry for asking ur help again..I'm just got confused!

I am married to a British. I got already my ILR. mY problem is my Philippine passport will expired on May next year.
1. When is the right time to apply to renew my passport?
one of my friend said I can apply anytime. So I booked my work Anual Leave on March,so I'll be able to go to London Embassy...but my other friend just told me that I need to renew my passport 6 months before the expiration. Which of them is right? huh huh huh me confused! Helppppppppppppp.
2. I wish to use my husband surname in my passport,Is the Embassy will authomatic change it? any requirements?
tnx!

Hello! You can renew it anytime. I renewed mine already and it will expire next year. I just renew it coz I'll be applying for ILR nxt month.

Here's the link for the requirements:

How did you apply for your ILR? Post or in person?

Good luck with the renewal...

I'd give them a call or e-mail to check the latest situation.
But I do have a sneaky feeling that passport renewals for the machine readable passports might need to be done in London. Just check it out first.

Please let us here know the latest info

Looking at the Philippine embassy website, looks like we will have to travel to London. Her passport runs out end of October, don't know if she needs a new one before it runs out, we have no plans on traveling abroad for a few months. But don't know if her ILR will become void if her passport runs out. Will call the consulate in Edinburgh. Cheers stuart

no her ILR will only become invalid if she has left the UK for more than 2yrs in one trip.
