Mine came back in a little under two weeks — but that was a couple of months ago.

Hubby had his back within a week and that was with me filling in a wrong DOB.

Less than a week for my daughter's. I posted it special delivery on the Monday, got it back on the Saturday. That was last month.

Both mine and my son's took just over two weeks.
His because his signature was too close to the box??? So he had to redo it.
And mine because they wanted to know if I had changed my name and if I had I'd need to provide proof.....I'd forgotten to put my middle name on the application.

Son's was via a letter, and he had to write back.
Mine was a letter asking me to call them.
Both letters arrived in about a week, so if no problems had arisen it would be about a week.

Both my son's and mine was done online. No issues with that part of it.
Full it in, print it, sign it, add two photos and send.

No sure if would be different if the photos required counter signatures due to a change in appearance. We haven't changed much so didn't need photos signed

There's a new full online application now where you fill in the form, upload digital photos, pay then send your old passport, no need to print off, sign and send.
