He's going for work. Or was going.

They are crucial on both sides of the pond.

6. hate to say it--but your hubbie messed up

You can't renew a passport at the airport. The quickest way for him to renew is to go the passport office in whichever large city is closest to you. He'll probably have to spend an entire day in line. Otherwise, he has to renew by mail, which takes 3--6 weeks.

On edit: Before 9/11 you used to be able to enter Canada with an expired passport (in fact, with no passport at all). But that's all over. Your husband won't even be allowed to board the plane.

7. He could go on the expired one and get one

made in Germany at an American consulate.

provided he has all items such as birth cert Drivers Licence and old passport.

And Passport Photos.

10. I don't think so, GBNC

I don't believe they'll let him on the plane.

12. They don't look that close...

Well maybe now.

On second thought...I hope the ticket can be changed.

9. this is the best solution i could find:

same day/next day renewal

good luck!

I really didn't think something could be done, but it never hurts to ask.
