Question

how long does it take for an emergency passport to be recieved in the uk or ireland and how do i apply for one, cause im goin for a holiday at the weekend and my passport is damaged so i need one

Answer 1

Oh good luck!!!!

Kids are on holiday , so the passport office will be busy. I doubt you would be able to get it  by the weekend.  

Answer 2

You have to make an appointment at the passport office - it takes about a day and will cost you more but you get the passport back the same day.  There is an office in Peterborough.
