Holidaymakers are being urged not to delay in checking their passports as millions are expected to expire.
Figures obtained from the Passport Office by Co-op Insurance show a massive 4.5 million Brits will see their documents expire before July 18 2022, right in the middle of the Scottish summer holidays.
The Home Office has warned that people should expect the processing time of applications to take up to 10 weeks and Co-op Insurance are warning holidaymakers to check their passports ahead of May 9 to make sure a new passport arrives in time for any planned holiday.
