Elephant1151 Posted October 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Has anyone recently renewed their UK passport. The Government site states it can take up to 10 weeks. I would like to know if anyone has received it recently quicker than that please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejuggler Posted October 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Applied for my daughter's first adult passport in May as we had booked a holiday in August. It was back within a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedgeToo Posted October 8, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Couple of weeks The only problem I had was deciding if the cover was black or a really dark blue 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrdsrdsr Posted October 10, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Mine was last May, when the bad publicity was at its height (they advertised 10 weeks then as well) and it took 8 working days including postage both ways. The big delays were for new applications, not renewals, because new applications need actual paperwork, and the company outsourced to open the letters was running behind. And of course no-one in the offices to help solve anything because they were all working from home. It seems to have gone quiet now, so perhaps they've sorted it.

john watson Posted October 19, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Up to ten weeks is between 1 and 70 days. Most people focus on the 70 days, (ten weeks) thinking that is what it will always take. Regards John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruitmachine Posted June 23, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 23, 2023 This website provides excellent real-world statistics on first-time and renewal elapsed time for both adults and children. I found that the relevant graph page (under STATS at the top) was the easiest to get an overview. https://www.passportwaitingtime.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
