I am currently applying for my first adult passport, but i have a dilemma.
On gov.uk, it estimates that it will take up to 5 weeks to process a new application, so if I apply by the end of this week, it will be done by the end of march/beginning of april, which is around the time that I need to travel.
Would it be wise to apply and pray my new passport arrives before I travel, or request the original (non-UK) passport back?
