My passport had been expired for 2 years and 3 months when I applied for first adult passport and I needed one because I needed it to apply for provisional license and to apply for other things and I need a valid passport in general never know for emergency reasons
I thought it will take 10 weeks or even longer I wouldn’t be prepared for months and months and months of wait but luckily the service was extremely quick timeline down below
Application sent: 2nd August 4 30pm
Application received: 2nd August 4 32pm
Documents sent: 4th August 3 55pm with special guaranteed delivery which cost nearly £7
Documents arrived 5th August at PO Box around 9 30am this is what Royal Mail tracking stated
Documents received: 5th August 2 31pm this is what the Government website stated
Bear in mind that 5th August is a Friday and that weekend is up ahead I don’t know if weekend affects passport services but anyway
Passport approved: 17 Aug around 1 20pm
Passport printed: 18 Aug around 6am
Tracking details for passport sent on text around 7 05 am
Passport arrived: 19 Aug around 10 30am
The whole process took just 17 days and even then 15 days because I sent it later than I should have
The passport was approved in just 12 days including 4 days of weekend
Then they printed the passport within 17 hrs and delivered it within 30hrs
This was the Bootle PO
I think the service has now sped up for applicants who apply in August onwards

Asked for expidated..48 hours ago sent in all travel proof and surgery proof…need ESTA to get in the States they need 72 hours to approve.. glad it was smooth for you. Hoping we get good news soon.
