Has anyone applied for a passport recently and what has been the turn around? I am planning to fly on the 1st May - do you think it would come in time?

thanks

I did! Chose the standard service which says 3 weeks turn around, but got my new passport 1 week later.

Back within the week using post office digital renewal service.

I renewed two a couple of weeks ago, they took one week.

Iv just got mine back, it took a week.

Mine was 4 days in Feb. Just sent my sons off last Tuesday and had a text to say it is arriving tomorrow

I’m still waiting for mine, applied on 17 March and posted my old passport that afternoon. On Friday 4th April I got an email to say that my old passport had been received and they’re processing the application. So it’s been three weeks already for me, will probably end up being at least four weeks at a guess. If I was flying on the 1st May I think I’d be cautious about the standard service right now.

I think it depends - is this a renewal or your first passport? First ones would take longer generally
