Straightforward passport applications from applicants in the UK have a published expected turnaround of three weeks. For the financial year 2013-14,
99.58 percent of customers received their passports within that period.
Achievement of turnaround times is a national objective and specific targets are not focused on individual offices. This approach allows HM Passport Office
to channel resources and distribute applications to meet capacity.

Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
