Passport Office workers will launch a five-week strike today in the increasingly bitter civil service dispute over jobs, pay, pensions and conditions. More than 1,000 members of the Public and Commercial Services union - around a quarter of the 4,000 strong workforce - will walk out at eight sites in an escalation of the long-running row.
"There are currently no plans to change our guidance which states that it takes up to 10 weeks to get a passport." How will the strike affect renewal time? The government says the strike does not affect their guidance to allow up to 10 weeks to get a passport. That's been in place since April 2021, before that the advice was to allow three to six weeks.
You will need to get an application form from a Post Office and book an appointment online. There's also an Online Premium service costing £193.50. The earliest you can get an appointment is two days after applying online.
