Need some ideas on how to get my mums passport without her knowing

How late are you doing the big reveal?

I thought API could be provided quite late, 48-72 hrs ?

Star out every letter unless you want a holiday

Say you noticed something odd on your passport and ask to compare it to hers

bitslice · 18 Feb 2011 at 16:45

Tell her that you've had an email from a Nigerian Bank Official who has $6,000,000 to invest but needs a photocopy of her passport first.

Say nothing on the internet is doing anything for you, and that you would like a good quality pic to fap over.

Search her drawers.

Easy.

'Mum, is your passport around? I've noticed something a bit odd in mine - this number seems a bit weird - and I want to check it against another passport to see if its just mine that has it or not'.

bitslice · 18 Feb 2011 at 16:56

Claim she is really a lizard alien in human form, then demand her passport number so you can get her birth certificate to prove she's not

"Hey Mum, I noticed this weird code on my passport. I read online that apparently it means I have to pay for renewal next year. They say you should check and file a complaint if you have it otherwise it'll cost you £80 for a new one."

Some lie revolving around money or any personal interest your mum has.

Make love to her and then ask her for it.

Your friend,

This is what I'd do, pretty simple really!

When my dad was planning a surprise trip to Italy, he got my mum's twin to go in and pretend to be her to renew her passport

Just do what [TW]Fox said.

Ring the local police station and tell them shes an immigrant. They will nip round and she will have to dig out her passport to prove she isnt

Efour · 19 Feb 2011 at 01:48

Pay some paramilitaries to kidnap her and beat the location of the passport out of her?

Maybe kneecap her if necessary ?

digipeep · 19 Feb 2011 at 01:50

Is your mum bang tidy?

Do you know anyone who needs a passport renewing who your mam would sign for or at least a ploy to that effect ?

I would say the most legit and plausible excuse would be this^.

However, if your appearance is very different from the photo in your current or last passport, you should get your form countersigned at section 10."

Just grab a form from the post office, and get someone sufficiently close to your mum to pretend to need it counter signing. Should work unless she knows the procedure inside out and even then you can just get the person to say they're being pedantic and want it counter signed just in case.

Tell her you are booking a surprise flight for yourself and dad and need his passport can you show me where its hidden so I can get the number, double bluff kind of thing. Presume your dads would be with your mothers.

dante6491 · 19 Feb 2011 at 02:20

Get your dad to drive her to France for the day. Pick up a load of cheep booze in Calais and you get to see her passport. Do the old, awww, what do you look like? Routine.

Hamster · 19 Feb 2011 at 02:24

Tell her that you and some of your chosen family are going to be offered free upgrades or free entry to a club lounge (or something along those lines) through your work and they need everyone's passport information to put onto a database so that there's no problem at the airport. Ask for all your family's passorts and she may not be suspicious.
