After reading this thread, I went to check hubby's passport. It expires May 23rd, 2003, and we will be leaving for Germany on Oct. 13th, (seven months to expiration), will there be a problem?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Many countries require 6 months' validity remaining at the
end of your trip, so this depends on how long you plan to stay.
Regarding expidited passport renewal, I used a private expiditer company that was able to turn the whole thing around in 4 business days (1 to overnight to them, 2 for the passport office to renew, and 1 to overnight back to me). It was well worth the extra cost. In addition to making it go very quickly, they make sure that all your paperwork is in order before taking it to the passport office, so you have little chance of a stupid error on your part delaying the reissue.
