Sorry, wasn't sure which section to post this question in :)
Just wondering if anyone UK-based has recently applied online for a passport renewal.... How long did it take you to receive the new passport?
Are we looking at weeks or months?
I've read somewhere to allow up to 10 weeks, just wondering whether it's really that long in reality. I did the online application today and posted old one back.
Any recent stories of getting new passport quickly?

I applied online for a renewal on 11th April. Sent the old one back on 12th. Got the new one today on the 25th. So two weeks.

what if renewing a child's passport..
father on birth paper, however have no contact.
did not put his details as it wont allow without his passport number which i have no way of getting.
Father is name on birth paper however my son lives with me and i am his sole guardian, I am a british citizen and have my uk passport.
will this effect the process?
