Renewing UK passport from Fuerteventura online
#1
Hi guys
Has anyone renewed their UK passport recently, from Fuerteventura, using the online system? The system seems straightforward, I'm quite happy to do it this way, but I'm trying to find out how long it is taking for the new one to be received out here. So how long and which postal service does it arrive by?

Tamara a couple I golf with indicated they have done it recently and they arrived within 3 weeks, only thing was they were supposed to be signed for and DHL just left them on their outside settee.

Thanks John. 3 weeks is pretty good, very good actually, but I don't like the idea of DHL being involved!

My partner renewed hers online and I can confirm that the process worked and was quick; yes, I would say about three weeks for delivery. First they send you the new one and then the old one. On both occasions the passports were delivered by DHL and we had to sign and provide TIE number. You can even track it and they also email you to let you know when it is dispatched. I even took the photos with my little Panasonic DMC-TZ60 and were accepted.

I can confirm that 3 weeks is about right and that was over Christmas and New Year.

DHL were unable to find our house/address. They contacted Passport people who gave them our email address. Then had email from DHL saying they had package for us. I replied that I would collect from their office in El Matorral the next day.

I had tried tracking online but the DHL site wouldn't accept a Canaries postcode.

We just renewed our passports online from Fuerteventura and they were back in less than three weeks (July 2023)

Strangely we were given different addresses in the UK to send our passports to.

Whilst back in the UK we have renewed my wife's passport online, it took 9 days including 2 weekends.
