    Fourth Anniversary First Post
    I applied online on 5th July for renewal passports for both my children. My son's (13) came back in nine days and my daughters (8) in fifteen. I was pleasantly surprised that photo verification can be done online now, rather than needing a physical photo. My son's photo didn't need checking.
