Hi Lbr272, If they have noted travel date you should be okay. I think they work in order they are received and if a travel date is noted they also try and achieve the deadline for that.They have to quote the 10 week timescale but as you can see from the average this is well above that. You should receive passport about two weeks before travel. If you haven’t, phone and push for travel date to show on file. This has worked for a number of us at Durham PO, they really do try and get them back on time.
