I’m usually so careful with all our family admin. We have a big holiday this summer booked (fly July) we renewed 3 of our 5 passports this week. 1 has been acknowledged but 2 which have been received as I sent them recorded have not been despite being received on Tuesday. My husband and I fly on 14th April to Europe. Chances of his passport being here on time?

Sent dd's off on the 23rd Feb, got it back today and her ID had to be verified which held it up a bit

I recently renewed mine. Applied on Monday, they acknowledged receipt of my old passport on Tuesday, I had the new passport in my hand on Thursday. Couldn’t believe it! Just the standard renewal service

Mine came within 3 weeks and that included a name change resulting from marriage
