With regard to the specific application about which the Deputy has enquired, the Passport Service initially requested further supporting documents from the applicant on 23 April 2024. The final set of further supporting documents were received from the applicant on 23 May 2024. The turnaround time following receipt of additional documents is 15 working days. 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 Passport Online service, which is now used by more than 90% of applicants worldwide.
