Be careful with the photos, the rules for accepting photos are now AMAZINGLY more strict than they used to be...

I've already had 3 sets rejected, thankfully by the post-office doing Check & Send rather than waiting for the Passport Office to reject them and send everything back.

Unless they've been updated VERY recently, no passport-photo booths do valid photos any more...

I had my 5 year one renewed to a 10 year one about 2 years ago. I think it was free?

Edit: Just checked, it still is, kind of. If your 5 year passport is a child one, you can get it extended to 10 year adult (so it will have 5 years left) for free.

i got turned away a couple of times at the glasgow office which was a pain - due the background being too light, and "looking up"on the second set - balls!

Took the first set of photos with a "passport approved booth" - no good!

In the end up i had to a same day service at 90 quid!
