Hi, if anyone has booked the 1 week urgent passport renewal has it ever arrived sooner than 1 week? Asking for a friend 😬

Yes mine did in February

Every passport I’ve ever ordered has arrived quicker than the suggested time.

I ordered mine 8th April and it’s arriving today 11th April. This wasn’t fast track just standard order

Thanks so much, you're giving me some hope 🙏

Yep. Often in a couple of days. How long have you got?

The appointment is at the same time we were due to fly out, so not the best start to the holiday! But we've booked the appointment and have crossed our fingers that it's here Monday/Tuesday so we can hopefully join the others a bit later than planned rather than not at all.

Ahh how annoying. Fingers crossed. If appointment is today it could even come tomorrow if the passport gods are on your side.

Been told that for safeguarding reasons, children's passports will definitely take the week so we've missed the holiday. We're trying to make the best of it and have had a fun morning in Glasgow before heading back home. He's coping really well bless him, he was so excited to be going away with everyone.

I ordered a normal nine fast track one Friday 4th and it arrived Wednesday 9th so I’d say an actual fast track one should be there in less than a week!
