UK passport question
I have been doing some googling but I can't seem to find a definitive answer. Some webpages seem like they are from the UK but are talking about US passports!? The UK govt website is giving me jack as well.
Anyway... My passport still has just under 6 years before it expires however, I'm am starting to run out of blank visa pages. Does anyone know if you can get more pages added to an existing passport, or do I need to apply for another? Seems you can get pages added in the US - Is it the same deal for the UK? Any insight - much appreciated! Cheers Luke |

Re: UK passport question
You could try phoning the British Embassy and asking them.

Re: UK passport question
Wikipedia says:
Pages cannot be added into British passports. If a passport is full, the bearer must apply for a new passport. A standard British Passport has 32 pages, but a 48-page "jumbo passport" is also available http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_passport |

Re: UK passport question
As said above, if it gets full then you need a new passport. You can get two though, you don't have to stick with one. This is very useful if you travel a lot, e.g. i have one I keep for Russia/USA and the other for Europe/Middle East etc. Stops the Yank border morons getting tetchy when they see a load of stamps/visas from places that they might think are somwhere close to the axis of Eval. That and you get loads of pages.

Re: UK passport question
Cheers for all the replies!
 $330 for a new passport though!?  It's cheaper to pay for a 1-day express service next time I'm in the UK...
