What counts as “about to expire” for UK paper premium passport renewal?

score:4

Accepted answer

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.)
