Hi, I was just looking to get a realistic waiting time for a first adult passport in the uk, it says 6 weeks on the directgov website but I would like to know how long it actually took for other people? It was sent on the 7th August (think this might still be within peak times) using the check and send service, and he was included on his parent's passport as a child... not sure if that affects it at all?
Booked to go on holiday 12th September but don't think we're going to manage now

You should allow 2 months if it says 6 weeks
Edit - I used the post office's checking system so no idea if that helped - I think they just check you've filled in the form correctly so I doubt it.
You'd be amazed how easy it is to get it wrong, so it speeds up the process by making sure it doesn't get sent back for you to change.
