So, following on from my previous post I am very impressed with the speed of the passport service. Forget the 6 weeks they say it may take, I had my new passport back less than a week after I sent it! How's that for service??
But - wow how passports have changed since I got mine back in 2004 - well and even since friends who have got them in the last few years.
Apparently they've added loads of touches to make them harder to forge - like 'canal' 'mountain range' along with matching illustrations on each page. The other new security features are a chip, watermark, biographical page and secondary image and new design theme. Colourful! The photo page has moved to the front, and is flimsy and a little blurred as there are so many holograms on it.
I'm off to Cape Town again in January so hopefully it will be real and they'll actually let me in!
