HM Passport Office Backlog

Proceeding contribution from Kevin Foster (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 June 2022. It occurred during Opposition day on HM Passport Office Backlog.

Not at the moment.

In April 2021, guidance was therefore changed to clearly advise customers to allow up to 10 weeks to get their passport, despite the comment made during the shadow Minister’s speech. This change to processing times has been communicated widely and over 5 million text messages were sent to UK customers who had an expired or soon-to-expire passport informing them of the need to allow up to 10 weeks to renew their passport. The vast majority of passport applications are being processed within the 10-week published processing time.
