If what you’ve been told on gov.uk isn’t enough to convince you I’d suggest you ring the passport office help line

Since Brexit our passports are valid for travel in the EU for 10 years from the date of issue, we no longer benefit from the extra months added for renewing early, your wife needs to renew her passport before you go

Yes, we now think so! My wife's passport was issued on December 2011, and the expiry date is August 2022.
This is greater than 10 years! So the GOV.UK web site must be looking only at the Issue date, and from that date add 10 years and yes, it is not valid as less than 6 months left! But the expire date still has a year plus to run! Must be a anomaly in the system!
Thanks Angiebabes, hope this doesn't happen to anyone else!!

Were due out next week, my wife's passport expires on the 7th August 2022, so we are returning on the 6th August, so that she has a year and a day left on the passport. We have printed the boarding passes etc..
My wife to be sure went on a gov.uk "check a passport to travel to Europe" and they are saying the passport is out of date to travel already by 3 months!!! She rang a local TUI travel office, they said they have not heard of a change and thought that a year left was ok. She is worried enough about flight!!! having not flown for 18 months. Any thoughts - should she risk it!!  HELP

I agree with Edward Bear, you are mainly asking people in LG what the cost of Covid jabs are in Stansted & return.

You appear to be able to use the internet, "allegedly", try using your little finger, which must be the size of your brain or phone somebody in the UK & find out.

AGAIN YOUR POSTS ARE STUPID.
