Does anyone know roughly how long a passport renewal takes these days please? I need to do mine soon and need to get timing right.
I think if you pay the extra and do check and send it's usually max of a couple of weeks (we did our last lot around Christmas time and it was still quite quick)
I have the new flumps :j but can only get them in Ts, local As don't seem to have any

Why not send passport off now? as it continues from the date thats on it now i believe
I need it in September and then potentially again in November so wondered if there would be enough time to do it in between. I'm thinking if I have everything ready and send off as soon as I'm back from September trip I might be ok.0 -

At present if you send it off yourself it's taking 3-4 weeks.
Remember black pen, keep with in the squares. Fee £72.50
Or if you want Post Office to check it it's an extra £8.75
If you have 6 months left on your existing passport they will add this onto new one
And you always need 6 months left before expiry if going abroad
Takes Post Office hat off
But puts it back on again as off to work
