It's part of the civil service isn't it? They probably still use fax and punch card computers.

Ordered a new passport online for my other half recently, it dropped through the door exactly two weeks from the date of application.
Have to say it was a straight forward and efficient experience.

I saw that headline this morning too5 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?
The Union has enough cash (generated from a member whip round) to pay them all in full for the lost wages

Is it 5 weeks straight or various days of strikes over the 5 weeks.
If it’s the former, that’s just bonkers, there is striking and then there is just taking the ******* ****.
The wordage on the news article I read implied 5 straight weeks, intended to hit the summer passport rush

Also useful when you need to surrender a passport for errr... reasons.
You cannot receive a new one without returning the old one... Unless you state the first is lost, which will remove it from the system. When they scan it at the airport, will it not appear as expired.
If issues, then get dual citizenship and you can have a 3rd passport. I'm sure everyone has a bit of Irish or Polish in them these days
Then ultd travel and/work within the EU without the Schengen days malarky.

TNT just delivered my passport, 13 days turnaround, using the regular service, quite impressed, that's quicker than the last time I did it when we didn't have passport problems

Pretty decent turnaround time here. 11th April I did the renewal online using the ordinary service, just arrived today.
Still think the blue-black cover looks crap.

I renewed mine about a month ago online and got the new one in the same week (I sent my old one off immediately RMSD). 4 day turnaround and it wasn't even an emergency application. Very impressed.

That’s not true, I have two British passports because I have to travel for work to countries that dont like each other,
I mean I don't care about being wrong, but I challenge you to find a single website that says you don't have to send back the old one or that your allowed 2 passports without applying to own a second with special exceptions like you suggest.
It's hardly like the second option is what I would have been suggesting with a common passport/traveller.

That’s not what you said? you said “You cannot receive a new one without returning the old one... Unless you state the first is lost,” this is false
Additional passports (accessible)
Legally, British nationals can possess two passports.
The second document is called a concurrent passport, and is fairly common for business partners to employ.
As stated above some countries won't let you in, Iran & Lebanon for example, if you have an Israeli stamp in your passport.
