Here's exactly what happens when you order a new UK passport.
Staff at Merseyside passport office are planning to strike for five weeks from today (Monday, April 3) to May 5, 2023. The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) Union have confirmed that workers across the UK will walk out over pay, pensions, and redundancy terms, which is likely to have a significant impact on the delivery of passports.
The government website says to allow up to 10 weeks for a new passport to arrive after sending in your application, but this could be extended due to the industrial action. You need to order a new passport if yours needs to be renewed or replaced.
