British passport - how long to get one
 

Need to renew mine, how long does it take from sending the form (Liverpool office) to getting it back? Anyone know?

mine took me 6 days..

I ended up making an appointment to visit the office at Liverpool. They process the application that day. but the new passport arrives in the post 2 days later. you need to already hold a passport

i know its faster and less hastle to renew than to re apply for a new one.

go to the post office give them the form +£5 extra & it takes less than a week

Zank you all. I was getting a tad worried as around the end of the month I might have to leave the country smartish :wink:

They finally caught up with you Ed?

Mine took about a week iirc.

Noooooooooooooooooooo..... :( :wink:

Yep, pay the extra to have it checked and submitted at a Post Office.

We sent off 7 new passports last summer, (me, missis, and 5 assorted kids from 10 to 15 years)

they all were back within 2 weeks and most were back in about one week.

Pay the £5 at the Post Office as it speeds things up
