Passport renewal

[Abigfeckingspider]

Did anyone do a passport renewal recently, how long did it take, the website says 10 weeks wonder if anyone got one sooner ?

They received my old one back on July 5th and mailed a new one on July 27th.

There could be a sudden rush since travel is a little more open now? This may not be true any more. 10 weeks seems unlikely though!

About 2 and 1/2 weeks. I did all four of ours online. So easy.

I replaced ours last Christmas and got them back within 6 days, but I think things have moved on since then.

Maybe relevant: it was a UK passport and standard speed, but I'm not in the UK so have no access to the rush options. They may treat foreign addresses differently.

Thanks everyone

I'm sure I read an article in the daily fail that said it was 2 months plus currently.

It's ridiculous that you have to surrender your passport for so long but they no longer add on the extra months. Plus I have elderly relatives abroad and don't want to be unable to travel in an emergency. The system is no longer fit for purpose.

Renewed one last Friday, its been posted back to me today, so just over a week. I'm in the UK

Wow that’s fast do you know which office it was ?

Sorry, I don’t. I’m in Essex if that helps.
