I've applied on 15th Oct and was wondering how long it would take to get my passport back once I asked for it. Any idea?
I decided to book a trip on 30th Jan, and as the date approaches I get more and more nervous about losing my tickets so I'm considering to ask for my documents!! I honestly thought that I would have the rc by now!
The HO have up to 6 months to issue the RC. Of course, they often do it quicker but they don't have to.
I would be careful about booking tickets before you get your passport back (as it states on the 'document return' website). Wouldn't want anything to go wrong!
