I’ve submitted my adult renewal on 26th August, documents received on 1st September but application has sat in a queue ever since. I’m due to travel in October and now starting to really worry I won’t get my passport back in time. When I rang the passport office, they said it can be up to 10 weeks and they noted my travel date and that was it. Other applications appear to be quicker than mine? How do they work? I assumed the did the applications in the order they were submitted?
