Can I get a break passport by June 13?

If I send it tomorrow? The old one has run out, but this new one needs a name change so I think I have to send it in (with the name change paperwork) by post?

The post office has posters stating a 10 week wait for passports.

Apply online now and post the documents to them ASAP. It's possible but not certain.

We did a name change for DS last month and it took a week.

I know people who have had simple renewals returned within a week but not where supporting paperwork has been needed

Got ours back within a week for one and nine days for the other last week.
Did everything online got photo from max spellman approved while we were in shop.
One went to Bootle and the other to Durham even though they were submitted less than 10 minutes apart.

Dh's came back in just over a week including the Easter bh weekend.

Did an online renewal for dd recently expecting it to take ages..........had it back in under 2 weeks.

I would suggest you use the post office check and sent it if you need to change the name too, might speed things up

Did an online renewal for my dd ten days ago and was warned it could be up to ten weeks, new passport arrived today.

My son got his back in a week. Did the online thing last Monday and got it back on Friday

Ooh that’s promising! Did you submit it online or by post? It’d help if you could scan and add supporting documents as attachments but I don’t know if that’s possible,

She did it online (she's an adult). I don't know how she submitted documents, thankfully its not my problem nowadays!

I renewed DS passport last month. Application to arrival of new passport was about 10 days.
