I've tried to find details of the timescale for receiving data requested under the FoI Act, but can't find it.
Specifically, I asked the Passport Office for details of all passports issued to me.

Do they have to supply the info within x days/weeks ?
Thank you.

That comes under a Subject Access Request rather than FOI.

30 days for SARs (data protection requests) but can be extended to 90 days for large, complex cases.

FoI requests for non personal info should be completed in 20 days.

Thanks to both of you.
