    I posted my renewal by normal first class post on Friday 14th Sept, received new passport Thursday 20th. 4 working days!

    (Renewed now to avoid price the rises this month, got extra months added onto the 10 years as my old passport didn't expire 'til next year.)

    I did my renewal with the check and send service on Saturday - I'm hoping it'll be as quick as some of you have found as I was planning to fly on Feb 2nd! The post office lady said my head was borderline too big in the picture but she let it though - the passport people better not be super strict when they look at my photo!

    If you're worried you can always email the passport folk using their tracker service and they should let you know what stage it's at.
