Appointment after passport application has begun – urgent passport

[hollyb22]

Hi everyone. My partner and I are due to go travelling on September 2nd, however his passport was stolen whilst he was abroad 2 weeks ago.

He applied for a replacement passport immediately after, however the application was only received last Thursday (18th August) with a 10 week wait period.

We have an appointment at Newtown Passport Office in an attempt to fastrack the application as we are unable to change our travel plans and will unfortunately lose a considerable amount of money.

Can anyone offer some insight into whether a face-to-face appointment can move the timescale along, or is it fruitless?

Has anyone received a replacement passport within 1 month?

Thanks everyone
