We did all ours in November and my son's first in January. All back within two weeks. Now I just looked most holidays in August 4k for two adults and two kids. Pre COVID it was 2.5k tops. :/.

They received my old one last Tuesday and the new one has been printed and is seemingly en route back to me now.
I reckon 2 weeks is current turn around if you do the online photo etc.

Yea did my kids and Mrs passports last Saturday or Saturday before?
Anyway not been long at all, they are being delivered tonight apparently.
All I will say to add to this 16, 4 year old and Mrs cost me bloody £200 or so!
I was the only one that didn't need a passport, and I have two.

Some really good news about the delivery times here. In the end I decided to let the Post Office do it on Monday.
For £111 they did the application for me, took a photo that would be guaranteed to be accepted [it gets approved by their software on the spot] and sent my old passport off special delivery. I got confirmation today that my old passport has been received.
The guy at the Post Office said it should take about 1-2 weeks, so let's see. It needs to get here by the end of March!

I was surprised when doing mine online last night that it tells you likelihood of your own photo being accepted, nice little QOL touch.
£200 is not right surely

Yea, 2 adult passports and 70 odd quid each and child at just over 50.
you got them in just in time, Prices have just gone up to £82 for a renewal

Add to that 3 sets of documents which need to be posted, and I use recorded for that, so at least another £10 in postage.

Mine just arrived. So that was application done on 25th. Old Passport received by them on the 28th and new one received by me on 9th.
Not bad!

Oh ****
Passport delay warning as five-week strike called
The five-week walkout will have a "significant impact" in the run-up to the summer travel season, unions say

I saw that headline this morning too
5 weeks of strikes! Very few workers could afford 5 weeks being unpaid!On the flip side, its only 25% of the workforce actually striking. We'll see what (if any) difference it makes. Large parts of the process are surely fully automated now?
Well - I just had this email - premature moaning wasn't needed I guess!I saw that headline this morning too
