You can renew or replace your passport at any time. It costs £72.50 by post or £81.25 through the Post Office’s Passport Check & Send service. Time left on an existing passport is added to your new one - up to a maximum of 9 months. Did mine by post took less than 7days as long as the photo and form is filled in right you should have no problems. Is there a passport ofice in Clapham? as it is not listed on passport site.
£90 to renew now and when you are unemployed living alone yeah that is to much
Fair one. If you have no desire/can't travel then you really don't need one. How comes you didn't get the job did they require the person to travel immediately?

It was Data Entry and it was something to do with the Data being Extra sensitive so they need a valid passport as well as credit and criminal checks. No idea what it was but for all that it must of been something serious.
For the future, you can always renew before expiry of the old one: up to nine months before I believe and it costs no more because the new passport's validity is for 10 years and however many months. This allows you to choose a suitable time frame between trips to renew. It's also better to renew during the winter as there's always a rush during the summer holiday season. This from the gov.uk web site: " The demand for first-time or renewed passports surges by up to three times during the summer hoidays (sic). This month (July 2013) is expected to see 560,000 passport applications, compared to 175,174 in December last year."
I did mine in March this year on-line and it came through in less than a week.
Renewed mine and my sons passports in the summer when i was over. Booked an appointment at the passport office at Victoria and got it all done in a day, in at 10am and collected before 3pm. Pay a bit more for the service, but its worth it.
If you renew your passport in the peak summer months and leave it too late like me, contact your local MP and explain whats happened with dates etc. Your MP has powers to speed them up. Worked for me. Waited 4 weeks for a reply from passport office (using post office check and send). Emailed my local mp. She sped it up and 2 days later it arrived!

Just renewed mine - didn't bother with the Post Office 'check and send' as imho this is a waste of money. Just carefully complete the form, make sure your photo is correct as mentioned above and send everything including payment for £72.50 to the address in Northern Ireland. Got mine back inside ten days nae bother.
Now we're being linked with new American owners , i'm just going to make sure my passports up to date , in time for our Europa League adventures next season after winning the Fa Cup.

Though doing it that way does cost an arm and a leg (registered post there and back all at my expense).
They found the old passport... In the car
Done it on the day at the office, can't recall needing an appointment though.
