Default 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?

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

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

Don't forget your EHIC card - you can apply online here EHIC
