'Documents received': How long until I recieve the passport?

YoungCuriousAndLookingForAnswers · 17/02/2024 16:05

I'm wondering if anyone has renewed a passport recently and can give me an estimated timeframe for getting new passport? My documents arrived Monday (confirmed by proof of postage/signature) and marked as received on Thursday afternoon. Docs sent to the Corby office if that make a difference. I'm being impatient waiting for my next update.

Well mine was Christmas holidays 22/23 and I got my passport about two weeks later-very fast. I live in Spain too! plus there was a strike.

Sunshinedahlias · 17/02/2024 16:10

Mine had just taken 10 days

I applied online on the Saturday. Sent my old passport on the Monday. Got my new one within a week. Quicker than I thought! I’m in NI.

Malbecmerlot · 17/02/2024 16:12

Same as others; less than 2 weeks

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 17/02/2024 16:13

Mine has taken less than two weeks. I got the passport first and the documents the next day

I applied for mine and four children, did then January 2nd. Received then within 1 week. That was including one child having their photo declined and I had to resubmit a new one, and another child needing to have their image verified by a friend if mine.

Just received my sons today.. I applied online and its taken less than 2 weeks, thats including the fanny on with getting someone to fill out an online form confirming his identity which put us back a few days

Jingleballs2 · 17/02/2024 16:22

His old passport was received on the 14th, so so 4 days from then

TreesAtSea · 17/02/2024 17:54

My recent renewal was dealt with at Corby too.

They acknowledged receipt of my old passport on the Thursday, application was approved and passport printed on the Sunday and new passport delivered to me the following Wednesday.

So nine days in total from when I did the online renewal and six days from when they acknowledged receipt of documents. My old passport came back to me on the tenth day.

MyLadyTheKingsMother · 17/02/2024 17:57

Applied last Friday, docs sent Saturday, new passport through the door on Thursday just gone. Docs back today.

We've just received ours and it took 8 days from posting and just 3 days from when they received the documents. Super speedy!

Pushkinini · 17/02/2024 18:32

DH did his last month and it was back in around 10 days. I did mine a year or so ago and it was back within the week. That was impressive!

marmitegirl01 · 17/02/2024 18:34

Yep super quick currently. 17yr did her renewal new passport received in less than 10 days - don't think we had even started counting 🤣
Excellent service 👏👏

CCLCECSC · 17/02/2024 19:58

My renewal was done via Corby in the last month. All in all from online application to receipt of new passport and return of old one, 6 days. Very impressed

June2008 · 17/02/2024 21:59

Applied online Tuesday this week, sent off old passport same day. New one received today.
Second passport (childs) applied for and sent on Tuesday too, notification today that it had been approved so we're hopeful it will be here Tuesday.

SweetBirdsong · 17/02/2024 22:00

This time of year. About 2 weeks.

AndAllOurYesterdays · 17/02/2024 22:01

Got mine in 8 days. It arrived a couple of days ago. Was amazed at how quick it was.

Tequilamockinbird · 17/02/2024 22:12

I just got my new one back yesterday. Took exactly 7 days from applying online (and docs posted to them the same day)

MrsBartlet · 17/02/2024 22:26

I applied online last weekend and my new passport arrived yesterday. Can't believe how quick it was!

m00rfarm · 17/02/2024 22:28

Applied on 2nd Feb, Passport received (sent to Portugal so would have taken a few days longer) on 13th February.

IggyAce · 17/02/2024 22:32

Did mine early January and it took 8 days to receive my new one. Did my dd at the same time and hers took 9 days as I needed to get hers verified.
