Passport time to receive after approved

I’m waiting on a child’s passport renewal I have received an email this morning saying it’s been approved. Is there anyone who has received a passport recently and could tell me how long after approval theres then arrived?

It was about three or four days I think. It was approved on a Thursday and I received it on the Monday. You get an email after the approval one to say it's on its way. I had my approval e mail and the one to say it had been sent on the same day.

Couple of days.

I've just renewed a child's passport a couple of weeks ago. The person confirming the child's identity did that online on the Sunday, and I then received the passport on Tuesday evening.

I can't remember exactly but we renewed ours in February. The whole process took 3 weeks.

Applied 12 Feb,
old passport sent 14 Feb,
acknowledged receipt of old passport 28 Feb
Approved new passport 5 March
Passport delivered 10 March.

So it's taken just under 4 weeks from application to passport in hand (we're also away over Easter, so it's a relief!).

My daughters is still being processed.

Submitted online 5th February.
Documents received 10th February.
Processing 22nd February.

Still in process.

Straightforward renewal, no other documentation needed.

Approved on Thursday, dispatched on Friday received on Wednesday. I had no text or email from TNT though and it just showed an error when trying to track it until the day it was delivered. I was getting a bit worried!

Thanks all.

I had a month delay sending documents which I’ve been kicking myself for, but it’s now been dispatched so hopefully it’ll be with us today or Monday!

Nothing. I assume you have booked your flights and accommodation?
