Has anyone renewed /applied for a passport lately?...how long are they taking?

[youknowitsnotthesame]

I've just renewed last Wednesday.
I'm hoping it doesn't take too long as I have a holiday booked.
Has anyone else renewed etc lately ?

Dh's was back within about 4 weeks (probably because we weren't desperate for it!)

We did fast track as kept hearing about it taking longer than the time frame it's meant to be.

I just did the post office digital check and send

We've been waiting since end of May. Additional documents have been requested for both. Both are renewals.

@hopeishere hi what other documents have they requested?
I thought a basic renewal was straight forward

Did my 3 kids renewals online at start of May, had to send old passports off to 3 different offices. One was back within 10 days, the other two took about 3 and 3 and a half weeks. When's your holiday booked for?

I think it's a bit of a lottery to be honest. My mum just got hers back, less than 3 weeks after she sent it off. She was panicking because they're going away. In September 😂

@boniday not till November 14th
I'm hoping I've gave myself enough time for it to be back

For some reason they want DS1's birth cert and for DS2 I need a letter to explain why he can't sign the passport (he has SN).

Daughters renewal took 3 weeks....other daughters new passport has been 5 weeks but I got an email yesterday confirming it's being printed so not too long I hope

Sent 2 kids renewals off at the of June and received confirmation that both had been approved today. Will see how long it now takes to receive them!

I applied for 4 mid June. One came back last week, one has just been approved, nothing from the other two.

I have been waiting for my renewal since 2nd May (Glasgow office). My son's new passport which went to Belfast was sent off on 25th May and received yesterday.

When do you think i should chase it up?
Do I have to wait the full 10 weeks ?

Renewal - sent in May, took 5 weeks.

I’ve currently been waiting 9 weeks. Lots of people are still waiting who applied in April/may but June’s applications seem to be going through more quickly 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Applied a fortnight ago for mine and it took 10 days. Applied for DH's and its been 5 days so far, but they only received his old one today due to the weekend.

My UK passport is with the Irish Passport Office while my Irish passport application is processed. It's been there since MARCH 😱😱😱

Applied online on Friday 17th of June for an adult renewal. Received new passport exactly two weeks later.

Renewed my son's from his expired childrens passport to his first adult passport. Took 2.5 weeks including them asking for a better photo to be sent.

I renewed my adult passport and name change on the 2nd June. Docs received on the 4th and new passport received on the 25th. Very impressed.

My child's first passport was sent at the same time and that is not back yet though.

Mine took about two weeks.

Just under a month for DC renewal. The worst bit was waiting for the confirmation that they'd received the old passport. After that it was about a week.

Well I did mine last Wednesday.
Friday night I received confirmation they had received my old passport.
Nothing since Friday and tracking still days "old passport received"

Mine took just over 3 weeks and part of that was because they rejected my first picture despite it getting a green tick when I applied online. That was the Liverpool office.
