They’re saying ten weeks ? Surely not

Excellent and easy service, name changed not just renewal. Very impressed 👍

I was also shocked by the 10 weeks, I was renewing D2's, and she needs it for enrolling at college. But then it only took a week! (Arrived today)

Hawkins009 · 18/08/2023 19:34

I'd guess around 3 weeks

Replacement for a lost passport will take a little longer. Mine did take ten weeks (and a day) but that was right at the peak of the delays last year so shouldn’t be anything like that now.

Tiredmum100 · 18/08/2023 20:08

I did mine last month, I think it was back with me within 2 weeks.

Seaswimmingforthesoul · 18/08/2023 20:15

Did one in late June, took less than a week

Honestly by all accounts they’re doing so much better than last year! You’ll be fine.

(unlike me, mine arrived to my immense relief while I was at a conference in London … catching covid and trashing the holiday after all)

Renewed child passport to an adult passport at the beginning of July. Took less than 2 weeks for it to arrive.

mrsld1985 · 18/08/2023 22:28

Ours took 2 weeks, been delivered today 🙂

themosttiptoptopcat · 18/08/2023 22:38

Mine took 2 weeks - adult renewal, online application.
My son’s took 2.5 weeks - child first passport, postal application.

Winterscomingagain · 18/08/2023 22:40

I applied for mine on a Monday evening and received it on Friday morning.Seriously impressive.

2chocolateoranges · 18/08/2023 22:41

Dds took 9days from online application to having the passport in hand and that was to upgrade from a child’s passport to an adults.

PleaseGiveMeBackMySummer · 18/08/2023 22:44

AT the moment.... My DD sent for a new one in late July. Took 2 weeks. Friend's daughter sent for one 2nd of August. Not here yet. Not been dispatched. Neighbour sent for her daughter's first passport (she is 7 weeks old,) third week in July. Took 10 days. First passport!!! Long story short. Should take less than a month. Possibly 3 weeks.

Beachhutgirl · 18/08/2023 22:45

Mine took 6 days, in the middle of July

ZolaBudd · 19/08/2023 07:23

Mine took 6 days, couldn't believe it, that was in July, I used the photobooth at Morrisons that once you've twisted the seat a dozen times to get your face in exactly the right position gives you a code as well as prints.

Emily29 · 19/08/2023 18:32

Just got mine and my daughters back a few days ago, took less than 2 weeks

Justcallmebebes · 19/08/2023 18:44

2 x new ones for GC who'd not had one before, took just less than 14 days from online application and sending BC's in by post to receiving passports

ZolaBudd · 19/08/2023 20:28

6 working days. Or real days
