But the passport shows expiry of Aug 2023.
Anyone advise See more... |
If the passport expires in August 2023, it will be fine for travel to Mexico in Aug 2022.
The issue with extra months on passports does not apply for Mexico, and in any case it does not apply to child passports anyway, even in the EU.
Your dates don’t quite make sense though. If the child passport expires in Aug 2023, the earliest it could have been issued is Dec 2017. The max number of extra months previously added on renewal was nine.

Im unsure on Mexico though See more... |
The issues with added months for travel to the EU do not apply to child passports. It’s not an “extra months rule”, it’s an “age of passport rule”. If the passport is less than 10 years old at time of travel, it is ok. An unexpired UK child passport with extra months will still be well under 10 years from date of issue.
