How to renew a polish passport?

I have been on the Polish Embacy website for the UK, and have found absolutely no information on how to renew my wifes Polish passport. I have also tried to call them, but after three hours of noone answering the phone I gave up. Does anyone know how ot renew a Polish Passport from the UK?

How to renew a polish passport?
My husband is non-EU living here in the Netherlands and had to renew his passport a few months ago and actually it was surprisingly easy and there isn't even an embassy for him here in the Netherlands - but he filled in the form, sent it to the one in Belgium (which covers NL as well) and then 3 weeks later he went to pick it up (they send someone to NL once a week for consular business).





I don't speak Polish but just quickly checked using google translate (via webpage option) http://www.google.com/translate_t





There is a page (only in Polish and not English) on passports renewals and it looks to be a similar process. Take a look at this, http://www.google.com/translate?u=http%3... and then maybe if you are still struggling you can contact them via Email rather than phone (btw as it is Friday afternoon it can be they've taken an early weekend or something..... if only it were that easy for the rest of us! - it is mentioned on the site that they were closed yesterday and will be tomorrow so I guess some staff may have made it an extra long weekend's holiday and hence the problem getting through today - so you can also try by phone on Tues/Weds next week)





Anyway, hope this helps a bit





Good luck
Reply:yes the english version does not include how to renew your passport - go to the polish version (see 1st link)





phone contact is bad because when the consulate is open the visa and passport workers are at the windows seeing people who have queued (and so not answering the phones)





I think you can do it all by post but if you do go in person, go early because they if you do not get in by closing time (2nd link gives opening times) you have to come back another day even if you are in the queue
Reply:Sorry mate,but it looks lie you'll have to do it the old fashioned way. In person. Check with the nearest Polish Embassy or Consulate in London.
