Applied on line Thursday night.
Friday I sent my old passport away using first class.
Tuesday received a text that they had received my old passport. Followed by another text that my application has gone through.
Wednesday, that my passport was printed and it was transferred to the delivery dept in the next few days.
Thursday afternoon arrived delivered by FedEx.
So a week in total.
