How long does it take to get the british passport back?
It depends. I got mine in 9 days, from Check & Sent to having the passport in my hand. My daughter's application took 2 weeks whilst my wife's interview is tomorrow.
I called 2 days after I applied to request my old passport back, so they decided to speed up my application. So timeline was as follows:
25/07/2011 Private citizenship ceremony
25/07/2011 Passport application Check & Send
27/07/2011 Called home office to request old passport back as I needed to travel for business on 08/08/2011
30/07/2011 Got letter asking me to book my interview
30/07/2011 Booked interview for 01/08/2011 at Crawley passport office
01/08/2011 Attended interview
01/08/2011 Received my old (foreign) passport back
03/08/2011 UK Passport delivered to my house
