With regard to the specific application about which the Deputy has enquired, this is a paper application which was received on 26 January 2024. The 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 advantages of using the substantially more efficient online service, which is the quickest, easiest and cheapest way to apply for a passport.
