However, following Boris Johnson’s roadmap out of lockdown which should see internation travel restrictions lift in June, The Passport Office is bracing itself for a huge spike in applications again.
Britons are being warned of waits of up to 10 weeks.
Director General of Her Majesty’s Passport Office, Abi Tierney, warned: “It is vital those who may need to apply for a new passport do so now.
“If you have delayed renewing your passport or are applying for the first time, please apply now so you can receive it in good time.
