They’re probably manually colouring in the old passports with felt tips.
Literally just got my renewed one back today, glad I missed this.
And when it comes it will be BLOO and have fewer rights than my old one once conferred.
This is literally not news? It says they’ve been reporting a 10 week wait time since April 2021.
Out of interest, when did they stop using a UK based manufacturer to make the passports and start getting them from a company in the EU?
>HM Passport Office has in fact been advising people to allow up to ten weeks for applications since April 2021
Non-story then…
I recently booked a holiday only to realise my passport expired in April last year. Couldn’t get a slot for a fast track renewal until 2 weeks later. Thankfully they’re still saying fast track will get your passport out within 1 week
This country is slowly starting to sound like a third world shithole, bit by bit
I wonder how long for renewals? Ireland its like a 2 day turn around w/post. Not even kidding. A little longer for new applicants like a week or 2.
