The Passport Service is successfully meeting high demand for passports and has issued over 126,000 passports to date in 2025. Turnaround times are currently at, or ahead of, target.
The figures requested by the Deputy are outlined in the table below:
APPLICATIONS RECEIVED | Jan-23 | Jan-24 | Jan-25 |
---|---|---|---|
RENEWAL | 110,760 | 98,941 | 79,206 |
I would ask the Deputy to advise his constituents who are travelling this year, particularly those with young children who require their first passport, to apply online and in plenty of time.
