PHILINFRANCE Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 I see most comments on here are almost identical to my experience in renewing my passport from France. Easy to do, fast and efficient, so very much credit where credit is due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coach Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Sent my old passport off via post box (maybe a mistake) portal saying still waiting to receive old passport. Tried ringing and web chat last couple days. Getting nowhere. Constantly busy and phone gets disconnected as they are so busy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn't send a contractor to a job site abroad as he's been waiting for his passport since January. It seems something of a lottery as to whether your experience is like his, or like yours.

Laner Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Took about 6 weeks to get my two children's first ever passports. Now waiting for their birth certificates to be returned (3 weeks and counting at the moment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
