I've just searched and found previous posts on this topic, but the latest one was December last year, and I'm really trying to find out the current waiting times. I wondered if anyone had more recent experience of any of the ways of renewing from Spain or revisiting the UK to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

UK passport renewal
Re: UK passport renewal
Wife booked online on Monday and made an appointment at Peterborough office for the Saturday. £171 collected last Saturday, was in the office under a minute.Parilla wrote: ↑Thu Oct 13, 2022 7:47 am I've just searched and found previous posts on this topic, but the latest one was December last year, and I'm really trying to find out the current waiting times.

Re: UK passport renewal
Thanks Costa. Quick question if I can ask re the "coded" digital photo that's needed for the renewal application. Was your wife able to get that done here in Spain, or in the UK ? If Spain where did she get it done ?
Thanks, Parilla
Thanks, Parilla
Re: UK passport renewal
She had it done in the uk. The company then load it onto the system for verification. Apperentley a painless exercise apart from the £171.
Re: UK passport renewal
Thanks Costa. I think we'll follow in your wife's footprints and try to fix up a Peterborough trip for next month. I know it's an expensive way to do the renewal but I have absolutely zero faith in any mail service at present and the possibility of being left with missing passports doesn't bear thinkung about.

Re: UK passport renewal
I received my new passport on Friday, three weeks and three days after UPS picked up my old one. All done online from Spain.
