just finished IRP renewal, took me 7 weeks then 5 days in the post.

Applied beginning of September and took 7 weeks for me, they sent me email confirming it was completed (and I could see application as completed on the system) then 5 more days to arrive in the post.

got IRP renewal confirmation today after 7 weeks from submission

around 4 months, check the 2021 citizenship application thread it has lots of information from people who submitted this year.

Glad to hear you guys got it, thanks for sharing the story so people know what to expect.

Really careless of them to treat peoples passport like this.

Applied on 6th of September still no update for me, status is "submitted". Will update if any change and I hope everybody else shares updates so we can all benefit.
