How long is a UK passport renewal taking at the moment?

[WiseGreySloth]

Hi all, Can anyone let me know how long it takes to get a passport renewed at the moment? Thanks for any help!

I did mine about 1"days ago. It was six days from doing my online application to my passport dropping through the door

Took about a week for me back in December

I got mine within 3 weeks and it was complicated because I didn’t have my old one. The online chat people are absolutely useless though

Made the application online last Tuesday. Posted old passport same day. Notified of dispatch on Friday. Through the letterbox on Saturday.

It's the one area of government that seems to be working well. I got mine earlier this month. It took about a week after they received my old passport.

Its pretty fast just now. I renewed 3 childrens' passports recently, from overseas, and it took 4 weeks from filling out the online application to having the new documents in my hands. I usually allow up to 3 months.

About a month recently renew my daughter’s passport. We live abroad so takes a bit longer and they ask for additional documents which slows things down a little.

Same as most pp, just under a week - very impressed!

Just a reminder that children’s passports can never be less than 1 week, even if using fast track.
