Passport application - how long before they're back?

[tinkerbellone]

Has anyone sent off a child's first passport recently & had it back sooner than the recommended 6 weeks?
Thank you xx

Child's second passport was back within 6 days the other day.

We got first passports for our dd's last month, they were back in two weeks.

Same as wrinkles, but not sure about first passports.

A week exactly but used the post office check and send service

And was first passport

Thank you. I've left it a bit late and am panicking
We travel beginning of April

We did ours online in case it makes a difference.

I did it on paper and did check and send at postoffice. I got a text today that they'd all been received. Praying there are no problems

Oh, ours was 6 days too. Was DC renewal didn't use check and send just sent it normal post. And they text you to tell once received and and I then got a text to say it was processed and would be back with us in a few days. It turned up the next day

2 weeks. Did online. Just got back the other day.

 great to read how quickly they've all come back. Phew. Hope it's the same for me :)
Thank you xx

Did my ds's online over a month ago and still waiting, this was for a renewal and it seems to be stuck on declaration received. I called today and they couldn't give me a reason why it's taking so long, fortunately not travelling till August!

First passport for DS and renewal for DD both arrived today. DH sent the forms off 20th Feb but sent the wrong (short) birth certificate for DS and we had a letter last friday to send in the right one!

I just got one back in 3 days...

I didn't really understand online applications...what's the point if you still have to print off sign send etc. If it's a renewal you would think it could be done on line start to finish

Our renewal of a child's passport done by Check and Send was back in six days. At this time of year I've never had a problem. Good luck OP.

We sent DS's first passport forms off in Feb and they came back in 5 days and we used the check and send service. You'll get a text soon telling you that your documents / passport are being sent to you. Hope all goes smoothly for you OP.

Renewal done online just came back in a week.

DD first passport was back in 6 days.

Thank you
I sent off four. Two renewals and two first passports. Kicking myself for being so last minute. Although ex-h was really difficult in passing over necessary documents. In the end I paid £45 for two birth certificates.

I've had two, a child's and an adults and both have taken exactly a week!

And that was only 2 weeks ago

Hey thanks everyone. I posted them on monday and all four were back on Saturday! Brilliant
