Passport processing service options and how long they take

12 July 2024

Not sure which passport processing service to choose or how long each one takes? 

Now you can use our new estimator tool to find out. 

Simply answer a few questions and the tool will: 

  • help you choose the passport processing service that’s right for you
  • give you an estimate of how long you can expect to wait for your passport once you’ve lodged your application.

Want to know how quickly we’re currently processing passport applications? Each week we publish the latest processing timeframes for applications received under our routine service.

We’re continually improving our passport services. Soon we’ll launch an improved online passport tracking tool. Stay tuned.
