How long is it taking for passports to process at the moment?

[RocketIceLollie]

Exactly that really. Need to renew mine and my child's passport with a view to going away next year. How long is it taking for new passports to be returned at the moment?

Mine just arrived and it took 9 days

I've just got my first adult passport a month ago and it was about 6 weeks from them receiving my docs to me getting my passport.

Oh. Quite a big difference in those first two answers.

If it’s any help, I work near a passport office. Until a few weeks ago, there were queues outside it all day, every day. Not a soul there now.

14 days for a child renewal here (done online)

Only 2 weeks for an adult renewal. Just got it delivered yesterday.

Renewed my daughter's passport - they received the old passport on 12th October and we had the new one around the 25th October with reassuring texts along the way informing me of the progress.

4 weeks for my SIL recently (done online)

My dd's arrived last week and only took slightly over 2 weeks.

Just over 2 weeks for a child's first at the end of October

Ok thanks for the feedback everyone. It doesn't sound like it's as bad as it perhaps was earlier in the year then for the wait.

Not sure what that last post above this one of mine is all about though....I'm certainly not pressing the link anyway 😂
