Passport Renewal

Forgetting to renew a passport can be quite troublesome, especially if it's discovered close to a planned trip. It can lead to a rush of last-minute efforts to quicken the renewal process, which can be stressful and sometimes costly.

Here is another great reason for installing the Lapsing app on your phone.

Last week, I planned a city getaway for my wife and me. I imagined coming home, walking through the front door, and presenting the paperwork to my wife, announcing our trip to Italy. I was certain she would love the surprise, and it would surely score me some brownie points!

Bearing that idea in mind, I visited our local travel agent. (I prefer the traditional way of planning vacations!) We sifted through numerous offers until I decided on a 4-day getaway to Florence. However, as I began to provide my details, I discovered my passport had expired. The travel agent's expression fell when I informed her, and she explained that without a valid passport, she couldn't proceed with the booking. Disheartened, I exited the agency without making any arrangements.

It's yet another example of my lack of organisation. I’d noticed that my passport was due for renewal a few weeks before, and I’d made a mental note to get it sorted, but of course, I ended up forgetting to get it done.

With the new Lapsing app, I just input my passport's expiry date and it reminds me well in advance to renew it. This means one less worry for me and one more vacation for my wife to look forward to.
