His Majesty’s Passport Office is exceeding its performance indicator of 98.5% of standard UK passport applications, where no further information is required, being processed within three weeks. We are working to ensure that these performance levels continue.
Performance data can be found in the most recent Transparency Data release at: HM Passport Office data: Q1 2024 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
