Passport renewal online forms how long to arrive?

Could I ask please. I completed the passport renewal forms online last Thursday and have still not had anything come through the post. I thought they sent the form to you filled in?

I can't for the life of me find the reference number it said to make a note of either!

Do you think I should just fill another online form in?

Many thanks

    The forms took about three weeks to come when I applied. It would have been quicker for me to pick up the forms from the Post Office!

    For some reason the forms seem to take longer than the actual passport!

    I was in this situation a few weeks ago - in the end I got fed up with waiting and got a form from the Post Office.

    Hmm - I've just filled in mine online as my passport expires in the next couple of months. Saying that though, not planning on going anywhere abroad this year

    Thanks everyone I will give them a bit longer in that case. Not traveling till the end of July and the turn around reads quite quick.

    Thanks again
