how to travel with an expired passport for an emergency
How it works. You can apply for an emergency travel document (sometimes called an âemergency passportâ) if youâre abroad, need to travel and canât get a passport in time. Thereâs a different way to get a passport urgently if youâre in the UK. Check if emergency travel documents are accepted in the countries youâre travelling through.
If you try to travel with an expired passport, you probably wonât be allowed on the plane. Even if the airline doesnât catch that your passport is expired, youâll certainly run into problems when you try to get your passport stamped after you land. So, donât risk turning your vacation into a bureaucratic nightmare.
