Warning - Passport Backlog

[baylie666]

I used to work at the UK Passport Agency and they always say this but never have that much of a backlog. It is all to do with the checks they do and the fact that the staff who do these checks take holiday this time of year too!! So less people to do the checks meaning less passports going out each day, however, it is never as bad as theysay it is. They tell you all this information so you won't moan when they are a little later than they originally quoted.

All posted renewals go to Liverpool or Wales so If it's a major rush then go to London and get it there and then.

I sent oldest ds and dd's off about 6 weeks ago they took 4 weeks to come back. I then sent other ds's off ( his first picture was refused) and the cheque was cashed 9 days ago, 3 weeks after sending it, and I'm still waiting for it. Fingers crossed it arrives soon - he needs it for mid July.
