Looking a HT holiday with my 15 year old who has a passport that expires in August
Conflicting information, does it need a full 6 months as other links suggest 3 months from day of departure?
I think I’d struggle to get a replacement passport by 18th February if I applied today

@up4it, please check. My understanding is 6 months must be on at least on the day of return. For EU countries at least. This is to get back home not leave the UK

Any valid passport will allow you entry back into the UK, it matters not if it is the first or last day of validity for that passport.
The EU will not stop you leaving the EU if your passport has less than 3 months validity. But they would prevent you from entering the EU
The 6 months issue COULD happen. If for example, you planned on staying within the EU for the maximum allowed 90 days. As the validity period is calculated from the day you plan to leave LEAVE, this would mean you would need six months validity so that on your date of planned departure there is 3 months validity remaining.
I think you might have misunderstood this one.

I would have thought the information on the Gov.uk website is correct ...

@up4it, it is 3 months from the date you plan to leave the EU
@twoodwar, has got the wrong end of the stick (a bit!)
Don't, stress you will be fine!

When I looked at this prior to our booked new year (didn’t happen) holiday I was told by multiple sources it had to be 6 months?
And the expiry date doesn’t matter it’s 6 months before the issued date (5yeArs of child)
I ended up at Liverpool passport office and had to pay £155!
Of course holiday was then cancelled hopefully April it will get used now

You know it makes sense.

@zikomo, I phrased my response badly. The EU wants 6 months on the passport on the day of return to the UK. Not the UK

@up4it, We were in exactly the same situation, discovered 14yo's PP expired less than 6mo before return from 1/2 term on Sat 8th Jan so we decided to renew it.
Applied for online for renewal, took a photo on phone etc, completed forms and posted the old one off all on that Sat (8th Jan)
New PP arrived Mon 17th Jan.
Based on my experience, you've got time to renew online if you choose to but I admit: It is getting a little twitchy now time-wise (And you have to send their old one in: They don't start the renewal process until the old one is received - they're very good with regular SMS/email updates about your progress though)

I think you’re wrong - it’s 3 months, not 6.

Passport validity
If you are planning to travel to an EU country (except Ireland), or Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino or Vatican City, you must meet the Schengen area rules.
Your passport must meet 2 requirements. It must be:
less than 10 years old on the day you enter (check the ‘date of issue’)
valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’) |

N0 - it is 3 months from the date you plan on LEAVING the EU.
I explained the one scenario where you would need 6 month validity. IF you planned to stay in France for 3 months, then you would need 6 months remaining validity so that you had 3 months validity left on your planned departure date from France.
The rule is that you require 3 months validity after your planned departure date from the EU.
