New Passport

[SJFarter]

Just wondering how long they are taking. My application arrived on Wednesday 19th Jan. should be a straightforward renewal, no name change or anything.

We've just had all ours back within 7-10days (had 5 sent away). They seem to be quick at the moment

Thanks, so I should expect it by the end of this week, that would be Friday 28th, so 9 days.

4 weeks for a straight forward renewel

Is that how long yours took or what it says on their website?

Mine went to Peterborough (don't know why, they've always gone to Liverpool in the past) not sure if that makes a difference.

We've done 3 in the last 2 weeks. Two arrived in a week, the third about 2 weeks. All straightforward renewals but they all went to different places.

I've just phoned to see where my application is and I've been advised that it's 5 weeks for a standard renewal.

I came a bit obsessed with watching this last year while renewing... it was very accurate for us!
Showing adult renewal as 13 day average currently.

I got a text today saying my old passport had been received (it was delivered 7 days ago, as I sent it recorded delivery). So hopefully, as it's a straight forward renewal, I shouldn't be waiting much longer.

Applied online for a renewal on 7th January, arrived in the post yesterday :) so just under 3 weeks

I got a text this morning saying it has been approved and is currently being printed. Anyone know how long that takes?

Our passports moved from printed to dispatched in under 24hrs (thursday/friday) then both delivered on the Monday.

Renewed mine in November. From completing the online form and posting off old passport I had both the new one and old one with corner cut off back in 14 days. I was very surprised and impressed. Hopefully yours will arrive next week.

Mine went to P'boro. Straightforward renewal.
Posted Saturday, 29th Jan, Guaranteed for Monday. Received a text yesterday (Wed) saying they'd received the application and I should receive it by 13/04.

Received a text today, Thursday saying I should receive it in a few working days.

Fairly fast service I think.

Wonder why mine is taking so long. I doubt I'll get it before next week, so will be about 3 weeks.
