zefarelly said: theoretically you shouldnt need on should you? just some recognised ID? you can fly inland and go to Ireland without? why not France . . . .its all in the EU. If tyou cant get one, go anyway, take other decent ID, if they question it plead ignorance and be nice!

Britain opted out of the removal of border crossings and still maintains passport control unlike the rest of the EU.
I'd opt for waiting in the queue at the passport office for 2 hours. After 2 hours forget it and use your old one.

Sorry for the delay in the update and poor spelling

This what you have to do

look on the web and find the national help desk number and ring them and make an appointment it then takes 4 hours from when you turn up at the office

He rang this number and the only office with a slot was Durham a long way North to then return past home to go for the boat.

So I faxed the Peterborough office and begged got a repy and the nice lady gave me the phone number to ring and beg some more He now has an apointment for 10:00am in Peterborough and this is still a 4 hour wait while they print it
He needs Photo x 2 id x2 bill drivers licence etc. £78.00 fee old passport and be in person.

So it up early in the morrning and sit in Peterborough.

Then on to Le Mans.
