If you applied for a child’s first passport recently….

How long after the documents were received at the passport office did it take for the passport to be posted? I’m getting worried!

Following as need to get daughter's first passport ready for August.

Got dd2's around two weeks later when applied in March.

I believe the passport office are still striking and it's up to 10 weeks:

Also waiting on my (second) passport, but only submitted that paperwork a week ago, so reckon I've got a while yet. Solidarity OP.

Not long, around two weeks as other poster mentioned, I was impressed at the quick turnaround

Same here, about 3 weeks in total from sending it off to it arriving

Thanks all. I had to chase when I kept getting ‘send your documents’ texts when I’d sent them next day tracked and it took 5 weeks for them to process docs being received. It’s now been another week and we’re supposed to go to Tenerife in 3 so got everything crossed!!
