I used the priority (5 business day) processing for my recent passport renewal in June. Lodged on a Wednesday, dispatched on a Friday and passport delivered to my address the following Wednesday. So, 1-week turnaround time in total including delivery time.

7 weeks in advance of my trip I lodged a standard passport renewal at a South Australian country Post office on Saturday 4th July. I wrote a note on my calendar to check for it around early August. Passport arrived Wednesday 8th July. I couldnt believe how quick it was! Even express post to our country area takes longer than that.

Applied to renew my passport today.
Next flight 12 August. Now we'll see how long it takes.

I checked the website. Lodged 29 June at the local suburban post office.
Received by the passport office on 06 July.
Since then crickets.

Says it is expected 03 August.

I have to go to the work office next week. May have to visit the passport office.
