USA passport renewal wait times?
« on: August 24, 2021, 08:43:42 PM »
Anyone recently renewed their passport by mail via the London embassy? The website says they are back to 3 week turnaround times, just wondering if that is accurate.

thanks!

I just did mine--it was picked up on April 7th, and the renewal arrived on April 30. I used their delivery service, since we've been having some issues with the post here in North London.

thanks so much Heidi! I went with the courier last time I renewed my passport, but I couldn't get them to schedule a pickup appointment in a timely matter this time around (bizarre). Hoping that special delivery is good enough here in central london.

for anyone tracking - i got my passport returned exactly 3 weeks after the embassy received it. I'm in central london and used priority mail, not the courier, fyi!

Ohh I wish I had seen this before I made my post. I just posted a query about this! 3 weeks is excellent.
