Overall not a bad wait considering it was a first adult passport in the middle of summer! They say it can take 6 weeks, mine took exactly 14 days from HMPO receiving my declaration to me receiving my passport. I was very surprised to get an interview the day after receiving the letter - apparently Plymouth was the only office with appointments available that week and some offices had a 3 week waiting list!

Date of Passport Receipt:
Received a text message today We've received your passport application. You should get your new passport within 3 weeks (6 weeks if it's your first passport). We never ask you to send personal or financial information by text.
I'm guessing my naturalisation application has been received at some point and approved? Anyone experienced this before?
Good luck to everyone
