Overseas adult renewal from Ireland 45 days from application to receipt of new passport – would have been 40 days if I was at home when it first went out for delivery. Old passport waiting 19 days in the post room was the longest part, then another week until they rejected my first photo (too blurred as I accidentally uploaded the wrong file, but was rated as “Good” on the application page). New photo approved the next day then passport printed the following day.

Thankfully much quicker than headlines in the media and some of the ones I’ve seen on here, I hope everyone who is still waiting gets theirs sorted out soon and in time for travel.
