Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas
Well . . . whatever you want to call it - replacement, renewal . . . the latest version . . . . the question is the same.
Hopefully, BritinParis will respond with the current timing. There are estimates even for "new" applications. It was 10-12 weeks just a few months ago, not six weeks.
As far as my own timing goes, the passport is very important.

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas
From what I have read you are going to need a lot of luck to get it through by early/mid September. Hopefully your travel plans are for late September. You've been asking various questions about getting a new passport for a year now and still haven't sent the application in. Just do it!

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas
They say they need the actual passport - nobody on here actually sends it in. Send a colour photocopy of ALL pages in the passport, including the front and back cover, along with a covering letter explaining you need to keep the US passport for travel/work/whatever excuse.

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas
If you had I assume you wouldn't keep asking the same old questions...time and time again.
Edit: Seems you completely rewrote your post that I have quoted.

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas
Really? Actually, it is now in the UK!
And it is NOT the same old question. The time for processing has fluctuated enormously this year so it is indeed a valid question whether you believe it so or not.

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas
Good going between the USofA and the UK. That is around a day & a half.
I approve of that service.
Not really as has been previously explained at great length .
So.
Here you are.
READ HERE
Which obviously you will not fall foul of because it has been a year or so in the making
QUITE !!
You wait until you have the UK passport in your mitts as you are so worried about this and then you book your travel. Simples.
I absolutely feel this has been done to death and more some. I really do understand the anxieties but the answers are all already here.
The only type of post on the BE forum that I will now let through, because I am a right old bag, is the "Windsong has her UK passport" post.
All else will be deflected to this closed thread .
So. - Thread closed.
Windsong.
Please feel free to protest against this. However, when doing so, please understand that the groans about you continuing to blanket cover the forums about your own long standing issues are bringing in complaints.
I have not acted on those complaints. Nor even on your own complaints.
I have just acted on what I have reviewed, read and seen
I approve of that service.
