With regard to the specific application about which the Deputy has enquired, this is a paper application. Turnaround time for paper applications is 8 weeks. This application is within the turnaround time and has not yet reached its issue-by date.

I strongly encourage the Deputy to advise his constituents of the substantial benefits of applying using Passport Online. It is by far the quickest way to apply for a passport.
