Passport service
By Mozam Abbas
A passport is an internationally recognized document that is required when you travel from one country to another. It is an important document so every passenger is required to keep it with him or her. Almost every country of the world requires a valid passport for every person in order to enter or cross its territory. When you enter or exit a country, your passport is stamped.
Every person regardless of age and gender must have a valid passport before traveling to another country. Getting a passport is a simple and straightforward process if the applicant has all the necessary information. Sometimes it can be frustrating task if you dont have the necessary documents while applying for a passport.
You must know the requirements and procedures to get a passport in your country. Procedures and fees to get a passport vary from country to country. You need to visit your passport offices website and get all the necessary information. You can also visit your local passport office, get an application form and fill out all the application carefully. If you are applying for the first time then you need to appear in person. Hiring an agent can be a great help for those who dont want to spend their time in getting the passports.
Passport is your identity so you should take care of it. Some passports are much respected in the world like US, UK and Canadian Passports. Sometimes a passport is required in urgency. Make sure you have all the required documents including your birth certificate, photographs, marriage certificate and government issued identification card. An urgent passport can be obtained in 24 hours to 4 days if your documentation is completed. With some research on internet you can find many companies that are providing the passport services.
Find out a best company in your area and apply through it. A passport service company has a qualified staff that is aware of all the necessary documents and steps in getting a passport. If you are in a foreign country and have lost your passport, you need to contact you Embassy or consulate in that country. Renewal of passport is much easier than the first time issuance.
For renewing a passport, you need to fill out the application and submit it with all the necessary documents and fees. Renewals are normally processed in two to three weeks time.

Florence: Britmania 6 March 2009
By Michele De Capitani
The event, which will be held at the Saschall Theatre on March 6th, will host many different events, which will help us explore many aspects of British culture, from music to clothes, from theatre to art, from literature to motors, to strengthen the link between the city and all that is British. Britmania, which is supported by important British institutions operating in Italy like the British Consulate, the British Institute, Visit Britain and Angloinfo (this highlights the seriousness of the event and of the organisers intentions), is an even more important event if we think that such an event, the British Week, was last held in Florence in 1966. After over 40 years, this new happening is going to bridge the gap in the best possible way.
Britmania will open at 5 p.m. (this is not fortuitous, as this is tea time, one of the most famous and appreciated British rituals), with the concert of Rent, a band playing Britpop, and HER, who have been influenced by the British underground scene. Music, an important feature of British culture, above all in the last years, will play a main role: throughout the day the theatre stage will host many bands playing the songs of some of the most appreciated and famous British artists: there will be a Beatles tribute band (Voxpower), a Queens tribute band (Queenmania) and a Robbie Williams tribute band.
There will be also many art, literature and theatre events that you cannot miss: the Saschhall will host an exhibition of works realised by British painters, photographers, sculptures and artisans, and the focus will be on those artists that live or work in Italy. As far as literature is concerned, there will be a literary salon, i.e. a space for debates, which will host the presentation of the review LEcologist and the debate Florence and UK: history of a long time relationship, which will make us discover that in the 19th century around a third Florences citizens were foreigners, mainly from the UK, and that among them there were also well-known people like Robert and Elizabeth Browning. Between the magazine presentation and the debate visitors will have the possibility to watch The Betrayal, a work by the great playwright Harold Pinter, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2005. Thanks to this performance the company Florence International Theatre will give us the possibility to learn something more about another important feature of British culture.
However, British culture is not only art, literature, music and theatre: also many British objects and items have left their mark and have become symbols of the British style: to one of those symbols, the mini vintage, an exhibition will be dedicated, but visitors will have the possibility to find other interesting objects in the vintage and new items market.
Spending cheap vacations in Florence, the capital city of art, and discovering British culture at once is an opportunity that you cannot miss. Visit Britmania.
