From 1 January – 14 March, the Passport Service received over 198,000 applications in total, an increase of 7% on the same period last year.

The Passport Service is working hard to minimise the impact of high application volumes on turnaround times and continues to closely monitor the level of passport demand to ensure that all resources, including staffing, are effectively deployed.
