Scammers are always looking to take advantage of passport application or renewal delays in the lead up to busy holiday periods. They are offering fake fast track passport services claiming for a fee they can make sure you get it on time for your holiday. They might even be offering a great holiday deal with the promise of a quick passport renewal thrown in.

Stay scam savvy by reading online reviews from reputable sources before booking any holidays and when renewing a passport, only use the government's official website: Government Passport Service.
