Welcome to the forum

I would contact the relevant authorities about this. Traveling with expired documents may get you turned away at the airport on your return.

Thank you stumpy for the reply. Please help me with the solution and any alternatives if possible.
Thank you

There is no solution other than what I stated in my previous post.
