Just wondering what the turnaround was.
Thanks!
Yep, under 3 weeks. And it would have been quicker had I not had to wait a few days to get to the post office and send my old one back.
Yep, did mine recently. Turned around really quickly and efficiently. There was a warning about my photo being a bit dark but it was obviously deemed OK by a human.
Great, thanks. it might be back in time for a half term holiday then, bonus.
As above, only delay was me getting to the post office to get the old one sent back. About three weeks in total. Shame the new one is a different colour though.
Mate at work got his back yesterday, only sent it in last wednesday, so under a week
about a fortnight for my daughter
Did mine last month, 11 days from posting my old one to getting the new one and that's to and from Norway! I was amazed how quick it was after all the warnings and news horror stories.
Strikes not impacting much then!
Two months ago took a week but that was before the strikes, recorded delivery to send my old passport off
Just before the strikes but new one arrived in 10 days
My kids one was done in a fortnight or so.
3 weeks, applied online first week of the strikes. Posted the old passport perhaps 3 days after applying. Plesently surprised at how simple it was, in the past I recall all sorts of issues with printed out photos and getting ID signed.
Yeah mine took 2-3 weeks. Adult and child.
Good Comms/updates along the way too.
I went to max speildermans to get to photos done which made life easier.
Yup, me and missus (with her changing from maiden to married name). Got photos done at booth in supermarket. This gives you a code which you use on the gov.uk website and it finds your pic. Waaaay less faff.
Sent off and returned within about 10 days a few weeks back. In fairness, very impressed
I was very disappointed last time I renewed my passport. Some clod at the passport office obviously had a mixup and stuck a photo of some old ugly bloke in my passport. Luckily none of the border guards seem to have noticed as I've used it quite a few times since...
Mine took about four weeks but would have been quicker if a) they hadn't lost my old passport, and b) rejected the initial photo. Once I sent in a new photo I had the new passport within 48h.
Daughter's was turned round in a fortnight.
Got photos done at booth in supermarket. This gives you a code which you use on the gov.uk website and it finds your pic. Waaaay less faff.
+1 the booth 'approves' the photo or keeps trying till it does.
About 2-3 weeks, uploaded photo off phone - had to go and do it again as the web page didn't like my first attempt.
2 weeks on the nose. Just arrived today. Did a phone photo.
When we had our passport photos taken we were told that it could take up to 10 weeks due to delays, strikes etc..
Mine was a straight forward renewal, took 2 weeks from them reciving my old passport and application to my new one arriving
The wife's one was a change of surname, that took 3 weeks
The boy's one one was a brand new application, which took 4 weeks
That's pretty good considering they are striking!
Two weeks for us.
Well I went to the Post Office last Thursday and used their "lets do it all for you" service got the "Old Passport received" this Monday so lets see how it all pans out. Not really bothered till September but would be nice to have sooner.
Yep. This week. Renewal. Photo done electronically at the post office. Application electronically. Posted old one off and passport dropped through letterbox within 6 days (inc weekend). Still picking myself up off the floor.
I ought to, but I’m not sure where my old one is, but it’s keeping my birth certificate company at the moment, wherever they are…
I had my photo done at the Post Office last time my driver’s license needed updating, when I got it back the photo was utter rubbish, so pale and washed-out I’m barely recognisable!
I’ve just got my concessionary bus pass back, using a photo I took myself on my phone - is vastly better, so as soon as I can track down my old passport, I’ll be providing the same photo. Then my driver’s licence.
Yep, I needed it renewed for work, and in a rush, so paid for the speedy service, picking it up at Durham office.
It took a few goes for my photo to be acceptable by the robot behind the scenes.
3 days from online application to fresh passport picked up. I could have got it the next day if I wanted, but I didn't have time to get to PP office on that day.
11 days just before the strike set in. I expect that the timings will slip once the strikers return to work and those that are currently holding off send in their renewals.
Did mine in March, back in around a week.
Less than two weeks from when they received my old passport, new one arrived this week. The Wife took a photo on a mobile in decent light.
The only issue is that it’s very dark blue and not an EU one.
Well my new passport arrived yesterday so that's 2 weeks and 5 days considering they are on strike & we've had 2 bank holidays not bad 🙂
Just dropped my daughter's renewal off at the post office. She needs it in 7 weeks...
Think she'll be fine Moly, only worry is my passport seems to have the picture of a bloke just off the front line fighting against the russians! Let's just say I don't want to meet this bloke on my own as he looks like he's ready to kill 😮
I have just had notification that it’s been printed.
And it's arrived today, so 2 1/2 weeks. Nice.
