my Wife renewed her passport at the beginning of December she received her new passport on the first week of Jan. they said it could take 6-8 weeks. we went to the embassy just after it opened not many people there we did not have to book. http://philembassy-uk.org/consular_P...formation.html
the only other thing to bring with you is a pre- paid special delivery envelope from the post office so they can send your passport back to you.
