Re: Passport Delays
Just in case this helps, our passports came back in less than 10 days

Re: Passport Delays
How long did it take them to take out the payment? Mine has already been 15 working days.

Re: Passport Delays
I was quite surprised how quick it was as I didn't fill in some of my stuff and subitted it anyway....I was born abroad and wasn't going to send in my original British Consultate birth certificate and figured if they really needed it they could ask for it LOL! But it was a renewal anyway so it's not like it was a new request.

Re: Passport Delays
I wonder why it is taking them so long to process the payment....

Re: Passport Delays
Does anyone know the current processing time?
The Embassy site says ten working days.
Any view on whether this is correct?

Re: Passport Delays
The 10 days banner on the website is still a work of fiction.
I sent mine by Fedex on Fri 30 Oct, was received by them on Monday 2 Nov, account was debited on 6 Nov and I've heard nothing since. I was starting to think UPS had lost it - but after reading these threads I'm inclined to blame the Passport Office !

Re: Passport Delays
I have had practically the same dates as you, and they are still processing mine as well.

Re: Passport Delays
Thanks for posting this because I too am waiting on these guys, I want to go home for Christmas.
I was thinking people could post their time frames on passport delays here. Currently the British Embassy in Washington is experiencing technical difficulties that make British passport changes horrendously slow.
If you've recently sent off your passport and have received it back, can you please post when you sent it, the date they took the payment, and when you received the passport.

Re: Passport Delays
Yes Dean, I am. I figured since I actually have a Certificate of Registration, that it would go faster. My friend got her passport without one, but by providing everything they would need to claim that she is indeed a citizen by decent.
