In September, they received DD's passport on a Monday and I received it the following Wednesday so about 10 days

Just got a child’s renewal back last week. Was just over a week.

I applied on Saturday evening, posted old one Monday morning and received the new one on Thursday. Super super quick.

I'm doing a name change on mine. Did it online last Tuesday and sent documents which tracking said arrived Wednesday but didn't update on passport system until the Friday. It's slowly going through and all waiting printing 9 days on.

In August once I'd sent the old ones we had the new four days after they'd received them

I sent for two renewals on 17th September, one arrived 6 days later and one arrived 8 days later.

DD aged 8 and I needed to renew ours at the same time in August. I submitted both applications on Saturday and posted old passports special delivery on Monday. I received my new passport on the following Thursday (5 days after applying) and DD got hers two weeks after the old passport was received by the passport office (17 days after applying). Both our old passports were sent to Corby.

Looks like it got approved Friday afternoon. Do they print and send on Saturdays?

I have just been to the post office and they did my passport application for me, i gave them my sons birth certificate to be sent with the application. I have now received an email telling me what documents to send. Have i done the wrong thing by sending the birth certificate before receiving the email? The guy at the post office said they only need my sons birth certificate but now it turns out that they need more documentation what do i do in this situation?
