ATUALIZAÇÃO: o escritório de passaportes ligou, uma senhora adorável, e é basicamente porque viajo muito para o Afeganistão. Passaporte em algumas SEMANAS, aparentemente. Não é bom!

Basicamente, estou a substituir 2 passaportes ao mesmo tempo e aparentemente nenhum pode ser substituído até que o outro seja substituído, por isso estou preso numa situação de catch-22, então eles têm que rever manualmente para corrigir isso, e ela nunca viu nada assim antes. Divertido
