If you are planning to travel to Europe or elsewhere abroad in 2024 it is very important than you check the expiration date of your passport.  My son recently renewed his on 26 July and just received it back on 1 October so the processing times are taking at least 8 weeks.  

Most countries require your passport to be valid 3-6 months from the date you depart from home and you will denied boarding if you do not meet this requirement. 

So please grab all the passports in your household and check the expiration date. The last thing you want is this important detail to cost you the trip you’ve been planning and dreaming about.
