Passport stress ...what do I do?

I apologise if this has been posted a million times.
I've just applied for a replacement passport as mine was lost.
It's 17 weeks till I travel and just terrified it won't get back in time.

If it gets to 10 weeks do I contact someone?
Does anyone know the process ?

I just replaced my passport online and it took 3 weeks from the day I filled it in to receiving the new one. I think you'll be fine.

I think you'll be fine, too.

eltonlonng · 13/07/2022 08:49

Yeah I did mine online too.
Fingers crossed

It seems that people who apply now are fine. Its those who applied a couple of months ago stuck in the backlog that are having issues.

Well I joined a Facebook passport chaos page and that's gave me the fear ...reading all the horror stories
Il keep the faith

I applied online, sent my old passport back last Tuesday and I've had a notification that the new one is being delivered today. I think you'll be fine.

I hope you get it soon. I applied for my DD renewal passport at the beginning of May & have heard nothing. We go away next week but nothing I can do

@Iwasfeelingepic I've read people going to passport office 48 hours before travel and getting it-as long as you can show your travelling

I have seen that, but I'm hoping we don't need it as we are only sailing to N.Ireland. I think it will depend on P&O, waiting for them to confirm if we need it.

Mine took three weeks in May

We take the boat to Northern Ireland all the time from cairnryan and have never taken passports or been asked for them

DoctorMarten · 13/07/2022 15:43

I applied in May. Fuck all has happened. I'm so stressed.

FortonServices · 13/07/2022 16:26

Mine took 3 weeks. Straightforward renewal. Don't panic yet.

That's good to know. Thanks
