My Passport renewal took only 2 weeks

On 9th July I popped my old passport into a jiffy bag and sent it back to HMPO. My hideous but acceptable photo I told you about here on 9th July was attached to my online request, and in about a fortnight the Royal Mail delivered my new one.

They of course delivered it to Durham, so we had to hot-shoe it up from Ripon to pick it up. 😏

So, i'm good now until July 2035 (by which time i'll be getting really old and crusty). That's impressive service really from HMPO in peak holiday season.

Happy Dave 😎
