Passport Reminder Service

Shifty

Having seen a number of threads about posters not realising their passports were nearing expiry, Ithought this might be useful:

The Passport Reminder Service is a service which will send you a reminder by e-mail three months before your passport is due to expire.

You may register a number of different passports (e.g. all members of a family) using the one e-mail address (input each individual name and expiry date and click reminder). You will then receive the reminder by e-mail three months before the passport is due to expire and the e-mail will inform you which passport is about to expire

This reminder e-mail will also provide you with links providing details of how you can renew your passport, where to obtain passport application forms, etc.

Although that would be helpful it would probably be worth noting that the majority of people who do not notice until 2-3 days before travelling do not have the foresight to plan ahead and would not use this service, would not seek out this service and would probably not be checking their e-mails regularly.

Surely they should verify the email address before associating a reminder with with, at the moment they don't. Although they have added a verify for removing the reminder.

Not much thought put into it, I can register up any email address without verification. It also allows you to enter a date which has already passed for the passport expiry.

Finally looks like it was designed by someone who have recently taken up html as a hobby.
