Further to letters in previous issues of Connexion regarding renewing UK passports...
My passport was not due for renewal until October 2019, but I decided it would be wise to renew it early. I applied on January 12. The application was approved on January 24.
It arrived, without fuss, courtesy of DHL, on January 29.
Full marks to the Passport Office and DHL, and I think I am right in that it was cheaper (£105) than 10 years ago.
