Potential ID problem
Four years ago I had to give up driving because of sleep apnoea. Since then I've used my passport as photographic ID when flying from NI to England, Scotland or Wales. My passport is now due for renewal. Mrs. FF who does not have a driving licence is also due to renew her passport. I know there are fast tracking services but they cost a fortune. Are we basically grounded while our passports are away? Is there any way round it in extreme circumstances? My 82 year old mother and the rest of my family live in West Yorkshire. Could we fly if it was an out and out emergency?
