This is a slightly skewed timeline as I had to send supporting documents and I did so over the bank holiday weekend so it delayed things a little. Had I sent my docs on the same day as my online application, then the process likely would have taken just 20 days (not including the extra time it took as I sent my docs over the BH weekend) which is just under 3 weeks. It was a really quick and seamless process and I have my passport well before I need it for my summer trip. Don’t delay, get it all sent it and I’m sure you’ll be fine.
