After years of travel restrictions, many people are eagerly waiting a trip abroad this summer.
But some would-be holidaymakers are being forced to cancel their holidays due to passports not arriving in time. It comes after the Passport Office saw more than five million people delay renewing their passport over 2020 and 2021 as the pandemic hit the travel industry.
Prior to the covid pandemic, people were advised of waits of around three weeks. But processing times can now take up to 10 weeks, according to HM Passport Office.
