@kraftner@mastodon.social @adactio@mastodon.social That's 3 weeks _after_ you submit your application, which, for a first passport, involves paying for appropriate photos, obtaining a copy of your birth certificate (which costs £15 and takes 2 weeks to obtain...) and finding people to countersign your application to verify your identity... if you need it urgently, you have to pay a lot more.

@maccath@phpc.social @adactio@mastodon.social I just looked it up and it is basically all the same here in terms of price, time and bureaucracy involved. I just never really though about it much because I was lucky enough to always having had a passport and only ever had to renew it as a working adult who doesn't care too much about 112€ every ten years. TIL. Thanks!
