Current Passport Renewal times

[DownRightAmazing]

Wondered if anyone has applied recently and how long it took? Straight forwards adult renewal here and only sent a few days ago - apparently it's 'in the queue to be processed'.

I'm hoping to fly at the end of April but won't book anything until I have the passport in my hands and find out what's happening with Brexit.

Avebury I submitted online on Saturday and got an instant text to say it was 'received'. I posted back my old passport on Monday, second class and it was received on Thursday (yesterday) and I got a text to say so.

Husband and I did ours online, as we have both changed names since getting married. Sent off recorded delivery on Monday. Interestingly mine had to go to the passport office in Glasgow, whilst his went to Durham. He has just received a text to says his is on it's way back already, whereas mine is still in the queue, so I guess the different offices are experiencing different workloads.

I did mine 10 days ago and I received it yesterday.

Mine wasn't a pre-Brexit renewal, just my old one expires this month.

dd got hers back last week, having been sent off a week before.

I renewed mine last month and took exactly one week. Mine had run out last year.

The draft EU legislation says you only need three months left after the date you exit whichever member state you are visiting.

Update for anyone interested: text today to say that they've approved my application and photo and will let me know when it's dispatched. So pretty good all in.

Mine arrived there on Thursday and new one was in the list by Monday

Argh - Typo: post, not list

This was in February

One week, about a month ago, for a renewal.

I renewed my daughter’s child one on 15 February, via check and send at the post office, and got it back in under 2 weeks.

Coming back to this a final time to say I received the new passport today - exactly 7 days since they received my old passport. 👌

Renewed 2 months ago & waited less than 2 weeks for them to arrive back. Very impressed

9 days start to finish for mine

Mine took 3 days start to finish. Name change and renewal. This was last month

Sorry 5 including posting

Filled my forms Monday, they received passports yesterday and current status is application in line

Did check and send on Monday, PO people said it would probably be 2 weeks.

Applied online for an adult renewal 8 days ago - received new passport today.

@DownRightAmazing I did mine online last Tuesday and have had emails today to say approved and printing.

I recently renewed both mine and ds' passport and neither took more than a week/10 days from doing the online application so probably no more than a week from them receiving the old passports.

My passport expired in December but I had renewed it in March so under the no deal rules it would have effectively expired next week. Looks like I could have kept it now, but it doesn't matter.

I don't get the 6 month rule. If your passport is valid until a certain day it should be valid until then, not 6 months before. I can understand having a short buffer in case eg you were ill and couldn't leave a country on the planned day but do you really need 6 months? One month should be enough.

Had an email last Thursday to say mine was in the queue, still nothing.

DH's was much quicker when I did it last month, so I think there has definitely been an influx.

Those who have received their passports, what color was it? Just curious

I was in charge of renewing my sisters recently and did it all online in feb. Both came within a week.

Got my new one today - still burgundy!

(Exactly a week from them receiving my old passport, just to add to the stats)
