THE PROBLEM
My passport says it hasn't expired, but I still don't know whether it's actually valid for the country I'm travelling to.
Evidence: British travellers repeatedly ask about the EU's 10-year issue-date rule versus the printed expiry date, the additional three-month validity requirement and different rules in other countries. There are documented cases of passengers being refused boarding because of confusion around these rules. (Reddit)

There are an estimated 3.3 million lost UK pension pots worth £31.1bn — an average of roughly £9,470 each. Around 834,000 people used the Pension Tracing Service in 2025 alone. (Pensions UK)
