New Passport

[TimberWolf]

Mine runs out next year and I'm thinking about renewing it now, in good time before it expires. Is there any reason to hold off doing so for a bit, as new government initiatives come in to action?

[Sysman]

Any new government initiatives in particular?

Now that ID cards are in the bin, I don't think so.

Nothing to add. Just wanted to see that sentence repeated.

Any reason apart from joy about the end of ID Cards?

I am in a similar situation but have held off as it would be nice to lose a few pounds before having my mug immortalised for the next 10 years.

(The earliest you can apply for renewal without losing any 'time' from your old passport is 9 months, I believe).

No. No other reason.

I suppose I could have edited it down.

I should have said as old initiatives are binned, rather than new ones. Thanks all.
