People who need a new passport ahead of a spring or summer holiday are being urged to apply now. Holidaymakers are being warned to allow 10 weeks for the essential document if they are planning to go abroad.
It seems there has been a spike in passport applications. The Daily Telegraph reports that the Home Office 10-week deadline introduced during the pandemic will remain in place due to an “elevated” and “volatile” demand for travel documents.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman told MPs this week: “Customers should continue to allow 10 weeks. I urge people to apply in good time and not at the last minute."
