I’m a British citizen living abroad (I don’t believe this belongs on the expatriates stack exchange because my specific question could apply equally to British citizens in the UK - indeed it’s about a service only available within the UK), and wish to renew my passport.
In a few weeks I’ll be making (for unrelated reasons) a short trip to Liverpool, which happens to be one of the cities where the paper premium passport renewal service is available. The page says it can be used to:
renew a red adult passport that has expired or is about to expire
(Or when changing name, but that’s not relevant to me).
There doesn’t appear to be any definition of when a passport is considered “about to expireâ€Â.
At the time of my trip, my passport will have approximately 7 months remaining before it expires. Is this remaining validity period short enough to qualify as “about to expireâ€�

You will not get the extra time left on your passport anymore, but 7 months is well within the normal 'need to replace due to near to expire' for a passport.
It used to be that you would get up to 9 months extra on your new passport if you renewed it before it was expired.
I have heard that they changed the extra time added due to other countries not accepting the extra time, only allowing your passport to be used till 10 years after its starting date, but I am not sure about the reason.
I do know someone from the UK who lives abroad and comes to England (in his case mostly London) to renew his passport, as he can not send it in. (Need to cross borders on almost a daily basis.)
