How long does it take in UK to renew passport, I have since moved address and?

Question

gone back to my single name so will have get that changed, will this delay it. Thanks a lot - its a wee bit urgent.

Answer 1

They say at the very most 6 weeks

But thats only if there are problems or backlog delays

it is never usually as long as that .

Normally it will arrive within 2 - 3 weeks at the most .

But as its only a name change they will already have you on the system so that should speed things up alot.

Answer 2

I've gone to the passport office in person before to get it done "while-u-wait", so to speak.

Here's a link about urgent applications:

Answer 3

About 2 weeks - but it can be anywhere between a day and a week depending on how much you're willing to pay with the ceiling for priority passports being about £90.

Answer 4

The best way ( quickest ) is to go to your local Post Office who offer a passport checking service . Some small POs dont do this but will tell you where is the nearest one that does . Get an application pack . Fill in , in BLACK ink - dont stray your signature outof the box ! . Return to PO and usre their checking service .Will cost you £7 plus the passport fee which you pay to them . Will come  back in ten working days ( not guaranteed but very reliable  and  likely to be in your possession in that time span . If you wish it sooner you will  have to go to the Passport Office - Glasgow - Liverpool - Cardiff - London .
