Oh, this is fantastic - and soooooo relatable!

I was so surprised during my time living in another country how very different the attitude was to bureaucracy and government departments and registering and form-filling, and having all the right ticks in all the right boxes. In UK we are not expected to have our passports on us wherever we go - heck, whenever I next go abroad I'm going to have a job finding the thing - but in many other places you can't NOT have your passport with you.
