Attero Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 How long does it take for a passport to be processed and sent out? Mine has needed renewing for the past few years now and I've just been shortlisted to win a great prize + flight to san francisco for the beginning of december. If I do it by the end of october, do you think I would recieve it before the end of november? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Or make an appointment at your local passport office, will get it within 2 weeks. They don't do appointments any more I thought? Well in Liverpool anyway. I recently applied for my sons and got it back within 7 days through the fast track system. It costs about a tenner and included postage both ways from the post office, bargain..!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I did mine online which took about 2 weeks to arrive. Strangely it's easier to renew a passport than a drivers licence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 24 hours upwards, depending on how willing you are to travel / bend over. Come to think of it, I do too Me too in December, weird isn't it? you'd thought they'd have longer than a ten year expiry. I think quite frankly it's an absurd charge.

Looking at a picture of a 25 year old handsome guy on my licence. I would never pass an identity check, 3 stone heavier and bald......still handsome though.... H.

caseys Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 A divers licence only last ten years now? Erm yes..? Check out the front of your license - 4a (date of issue), 4b (date of expiry!) The dates from/when you're allowed to drive with your license iirc are sections 10 and 11 on the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I wasn't even legal to view a '12' rated film back then I think the laws changed just over a decade ago, you'll also find you're licensed to drive a lot of different classed vehicles that for instance, I am not under a standard driving test.
