Very easy! Super impressed with the fast turnaround with one week! Glad I didn't pay more for one day as the one week was quick enough!

Would have had the passport earlier but had to re book the interview as I forgot to print off my settlement status. But from submitting everything on Monday I got my passport on Wednesday

I applied for my child's fast track on 2nd March and made an appointment for Saturday 7th March. This was not at Bootle but Liverpool City Centre, not far from the Liver Buildings and opposite one of the train stations. They were great at the appointment, we arrived 10 minutes early (it states arrive no earlier) seen straight away and were out before our official appointment time. The examiner said expect to received the new passport in the post by the following Saturday at the latest, so 7 days after the appointment. Nothing happened on the Sunday but it was printed Monday 9th March and received in the post on the morning of Tuesday 10th. Thank you Liverpool office. Expensive but worth it.
