Passport

[Littleteacup1]

Any one recently ordered a new one and now how long it took to come back have a holiday in 5 weeks was sent off on Thursday

Mine came back within 2 weeks last month

Renewal by the way, not brand new one

10 days it was super efficient got a text at each step of the process

Mine was back within a week using the online service.

I did 3 passports last month, 2 were renewals, 1 was name change and renewal. All 3 took just over 2 weeks but there was the easter weekend during that time.

Did you not do it online? It's about £10 cheaper

Applied for renewal online and posted required documents the following day which was a Saturday. Took 2.5 weeks for me to receive my new one and that was with the Easter bank holiday in between

On !ine and got it back within 10 days.

Mine took a couple of weeks, was delighted to get one with the EU still on it

Mine took 1 week.

That should be plenty of time. You will get regular updates by text or email.

Thanks so much all so re assuring did mine online lost my passport then found it but had already declared it lost so had to get new one. This happened back in the beginning of March but I completely failed with forgetting how close my holiday was.

I applied online last Sunday, for a renewal. The system kept rejecting my photo, but I was so fed up I sent it anyway, with a note commenting that it looked fine to me! Posted old passport Monday, I received it back yesterday and the new one has now been sent via courier. I think that's pretty good, and I'm very pleased they accepted my photo in the end!

Mine took about 10 days back in March

DS got his back in about a week, using Post Office check and send. It came back two days before the old one was returned.

we renewed on line. with digital photos stored on a photo-me booth. Got the passports back in about 2 weeks, full tracking. Really good service

Check and send at the PO was one week.

Why pay for check and send when you can do the application online with uploaded photos at a much cheaper price?

It costs nearly £20 more to do it on a paper application using check and send!

You do not "order" a passport, you either apply for one or renew one. Passports are not a commodity and your application can be refused.

What was the point of that post? Who cares about the word used?

Dds took less than 2 weeks, hers arrived 2nd April. Had to print it out and send it/ get signatures because of her age. You should be fine

When I used the online service I still had to print of one form to get signed due to mine being a missing passport
