        <p>You’ll need a debit or credit card to use this service.</p>

<p><a href="/passport-fees">It’s £9.50 cheaper</a> to apply for a passport online than by post.</p>

<p>It should take around 6 weeks to get your first UK adult passport, but it can take longer.</p>

<p>All other application types (for example, renewing a passport or getting a child passport) should take 3 weeks. It can take longer if more information is needed or your application hasn’t been filled out correctly.</p>

<p>You should use a different service if you <a href="/get-a-passport-urgently">need your passport urgently</a>.</p>
