The average time I calculated based on a sample of 26 recent applications was 15.5 days from application to receipt of passport. How soon you get your interview depends on how flexible you are to travel to a number of IPS interview offices. It took me 16 days to get my passport, and my application got to the IPS a week later than it should have due to delays within the Post Office Check and Send service. I travelled to the IPS office that gave me the earlier possible date in order to speed the process up.zoned in wrote:does anyone know how long it takes from sending in passport application forms to interview for passport? i called HO and they have sent m decision letter since friday last week, i have also called the council and the next citizenship ceremony is on the 7th of april (hopefully my letter will come by then). so i would like to have an idea how much longer i would have to wait before my interview date if i were to send off passport application on the same day i do ceremony....
Hope that helps.
