My Passport Runs Out On 9Th July

[lankeela]

I have got trips planned for the weekend of 22/23 June, and again the first week of July, then another third week of July. How long do passport renewals take?

[ChillDoubt]

Should be back in a week/10 days.
You can have a new one on the day if you're prepared to travel to a regional passport office.

Quote from HM Gov Passport Office
"To avoid a disappointing summer, the passport service is urging customers to apply before April to ensure they have their passport in time. They could receive their passport quicker than the advised three week period and save up to £55.50 by avoiding having to pay for premium service for a standard passport."

Suggest you give them a ring on 0300 222 0000 and enquire about turn around times.

Do the application and pay for it online. They send you the forms, you stick your photo on and send it back. My renewal took four days from start to finish.

Thanks SeaJayPea, done it online and waiting for form!

[lankeela]

Although I couldn't see any way of paying online?

When you get the pre-printed form back there should be a booklet with it.
Near the back of the booklet there is a form where you give card detail for payment. Send this back with your completed form and photos.

Thanks.

Mine also took 4 days.
