Express passport service back after a year

The Island's five-day passport service has been reintroduced, a year after it was suspended.

Last year, the government said changes to deliveries, staffing and a rise in demand meant it had to be stopped.

However, from today the express service will be available for renewals and new applications.

The passport office, on the ground floor of Government Offices on Bucks Road, says the five working days doesn't include mailing time.
