2011 census form peek

What other use is there for old passports, other than tracking the ravages of time on our faces ?   

They can be of use in proving identity and nationality when applying for something. Some places will accept them, others won't.

Out of interest - the question about what passport do you hold - which box do you put the cross in if you have had one but it has expired?

An expired passport is not a passport any more - it is only an interesting old document.  If you don't have a current passport, you should not tick any boxes.

The notes at the following link indicate that you may enter an expired passport, provided you think you are entitled to renew it.

From those notes: You may enter an expired passport, as long as you think you are entitled to renew it.



That just makes it more confusing - could I renew a passport that is so out of date? I think I'll just put "no passport"!

You can apply to renew your passport if you still have your last passport, it was a standard UK adult 10 year passport, it is undamaged and you do not need to change your name or national status for a new passport. The date the last passport expired is irrelevant (you should be able to renew a passport which expired in the 1990s).

within the UK[/b] these days, again because of the Prevention of Terror regulations.

So .... what you're saying is, when my friend's daughter moves to Scotland in couple of months, she'll have to either have a passport, which she doesn't currently hold (£77.50), or exchange her paper driving licence for a photo, which she has no need to do (£20)  in order just to fly up to visit her daughter?  But she can get a flight for only £50.   

Question .... why don't 'they' issue all those of pensionable age with a free photo ID card?

i was reading some of the FAQ's and i got myself in a muddle. i am at my mother in laws the 27th. do i fill my form out when i get back on the 28th? and does she have to add me to hers? doesnt that mean ill be on 2 census', thats gonna be confusing for people searching for me in 100 years time isnt it?

Everyone living or staying in the household on census day must be included on your household questionnaire - even babies. You should also include any visitors staying with you overnight on census day.

If you are included as a visitor at one address, then you don't fill in another questionnaire at a different address.

As this census can be completed on line,I presume it can be done before the 27th, otherwise the site will crash if everyone is trying to do it at the same time. I can see a lot of people will be entered twice if they complete it on line and then they spend census night elsewhere.

Someone has also said that you have to enter people who are usually there but are temporarily away from home ie students, those away for work etc. Does that mean they will be recorded twice?

That is the problem with any of past censuses- it is a snapshot of one day in time,not a record of where people normally lived. So many of us take it as being the address that nieces and nephews etc usually lived at,when all it is was where everyone was on one particular night.

I'm making sure I stay at home overnight on 27th March,simpler all round
