How long are passport renewals taking at the moment?

Just wondering if they're all delayed because of Covid. DD18 sent hers off for renewal six weeks ago but it's still being processed.

She has no plans to go abroad (of course!) but she'd ideally have the new one here before she goes off to uni at the end of the month.

My daughter (also 18) sent her's off at the start of August and got it yesterday. Took just under a month. Her old one had expired by a week as well.

Was it an online or paper renewal?
Can you track it?

Mine took about 3 weeks to despatch last month - but then got swallowed up by TNT secure delivery for another ten days by which time I was getting anxious. I could see it had arrived at the local depot but that's where the tracking stopped.

My teenage daughter's took about three weeks when we renewed it mid July.

Oh poo, looks like DD's may have slipped the net then.

She got confirmation that they'd received it on 20th July but has heard nothing since.

Annoyingly you can't contact them until 10 weeks has passed, so it looks as though we'll be in limbo until then.

My husbands took around 6 weeks.

I did mine on 27th August at post office. I heard today they had received my old passport and approved my renewal application.

I renewed my expired passport online - it took approximately 10 days for my new passport to be delivered.

My DH's (brand new, not renewal, as he'd just become a British citizen) passport took about 2 weeks, this was a couple of months ago.

I'd chase your daughter's application up as it shouldn't take that long.
