    nice to hear praise for passport office for a change! I used to work for them years ago in the post opening room checking apps (applications) if all present and correct the app would go through all processes in about 3/4 hour. then it is sent to be printed and mailed. the quickest reciept i had previously heard about was sent and recieved back passport in 48 hours!! BTW - at the time the post office did a passport app service which was supposed to ensure that your application wouldnt be returned as details were missed or wrong - i found that they werent very good at this and that in some cases stupid mistakes were made like not including passport photos! so - check your app carefully and make sure you include payment (you have no idea how many peeps seemed to think they were free!) and you should have your passport back really quickly. hope this is helpful

    mine took less than a week to be returned to me ( renewal, and I had started it online earlier in the year) Man in van delivered it, and I hadn't paid for a special delivery. I was impressed too.
