I needed to renew my passport. Actually it expires in January, but I am going to the US in September so wanted a bit of life left in it,

Anyway you can now renew online. I applied last Monday evening , Sent my old passport off on Tuesday morning got the online photo rejected on Tuesday night (complying with rules is a PIA) sent a revised picture Wednesday evening. Recieved new passport Monday morning. So just less than a week. Doesnt seem worth paying the post office to check and it was much quicker than the 3 weeks quoted.

Just renewed mine too, very efficient, but a thought occurs - with Brexit will we have to change them again to a British version, and, more to the point, will it cost us?

If we have to change them we will have to pay, after all we voted to leave (lol)

It took DVLA 10 months to get my new license after my 70th - one medical condition had to be checked. They have only just sent it - although they did use the passport photo (does anyone like their pic?) Yesterday I received a customer satisfaction questionnaire - they may well regret my dissatisfaction at waiting so long.

But its good to know Passports can be renewed quickly. My son is waiting for Passport Office to issue a passport for his 6 month old son - and was told 5 weeks - I hope it is settled more quickly so son and father can be reunited in the US.
