Passport was posted through my letterbox on 2nd April. Took about 9 weeks from start to finish. And whatever you do, do not read any of the replies to the HM Passport Office twitter feed.
Did three passport applications on line 27th April
Posted them recorded delivery the same day
RM tracking showed them signed for the next day
Notification today that they have been "received"
UPDATE 2UPDATE
One of them (my youngest daughter's) turned up today (18 calendar days)
The other two (my wife and mine, different processing office) were both notified as "being printed" today. If the same pattern as the other one we should have them in the next few days
TNT are a nightmare I think. I had them delivering some radiators last year for a refurb, took them 6 attempts and me on the phone a lot... Radiators for god sake, would have thought they wanted rid, but reckon the delivery couldn't be bothered to get them out the van.UPDATE 2
Mine was delivered this morning (after TNT have failed to even attempt to deliver for 3 days)
24 calendar days from application
Just one more (my wife's) to be received - done at the same time and to the same processing office as mine. Her tracking details on TNT are not showing anything useful
I got a text each day saying "delivery failed"TNT are a nightmare I think. I had them delivering some radiators last year for a refurb, took them 6 attempts and me on the phone a lot...

I've been asked to take a work related trip overseas next month (7th June), but my passport has expired. Can anyone who has applied for a renewal recently please tell me how long I can expect to wait? Cheers.
