UK Passport Renewals Are Currently Delayed - Here's How To Speed Up The Process
UK Passport Renewals
This comes as a result of over five million British citizens delaying their passport renewals in 2020 and 2021. The British government is now warning people to process their applications "as soon as possible" to avoid delays.
Her Majesty's Passport Office has stated that the current processing time for new passports is around ten weeks, but situations have been reported to happen in which processing is taking much longer than that.
Why Is The UK Passport Renewal Process Delayed?
The Passport Office announced that the queue had been caused by an unusual amount of demand for UK passport applications and renewals.
Following the end of Covid-19 travel restrictions, more individuals are renewing their passports, which they had postponed during the pandemic.
More than one million new passport applications were processed in March 2022, 13% more than the previous record set in March 2019.
How To Speed Up An Application

Before submitting an application, have it examined by an expert. The U.K.ABROAD team of UK passport experts will carefully review applications and ensure that they are in order before sending them to the relevant government department in the United Kingdom.
To avoid delays and the possibility of losing documents, using a courier service is recommended.
