Why Do Adolescents Drink, What Are the Risks, and How Can Underage Drinking Be Prevented? Alcohol is the drug of choice among youth. Many young people are experiencing the consequences of drinking too much, at too early an age. As a result, underage drinking is a leading public health problem in this country.
Passports for children under age 16 are good for five years. The bad news is that you'll have to go through pretty much the same process when it's time to renew your child's passport â apply in person, prove your relationship to your child, and so on. So hold on to all your documentation for the next go-round!
1. Who can apply. You must have British nationality to be eligible for a British passport. An adult passport is valid for 10 years. Apply for a first adult passport if youâre aged 16 or over (or will be within 3 weeks) and never had a child passport. If youâve already had a child passport and it has run out, follow the process for renewing your passport in the UK or outside the UK.
