Post

Now if you just put it on the block chain… I’m kidding.

In Canada you apply online within 10 months of the expiration date. They mail you a new one with instructions to destroy the old one upon receiving it. Zero downtime.

Sounds a familiar process. Yes, truly you are expected to stay within your borders for the duration. With airports around Asia all flipping rapidly to biometric e-gates the days of the need for physical passports must be numbered (hopefully)

is there not a british consulate near you? im getting mine from the german chicago office

Way back you used to have to mail it to the consulate in San Fransisco. Took *forever*although it was in the same country. Then they changed it to mailing back to the UK and it was much, much quicker.

I have U.K., Ireland and the U.S. now

“Print your own passports instead” was a bit more anarchist of advice than I expected from you 🦖

Ireland has an app for that. It even takes your photo. New passport arrives about 2 days later on average. www.ireland.ie/en/dfa/passp...
