Article date:18 April 2019We're experiencing a big surge in people applying for passports. This is causing longer than usual wait times to our call centre. Our call centre operates from 0800 to 2100 Monday to Friday and 0830 to 1700 Saturday and Sunday. Calling outside of peak times (0900 to 1500) will reduce your wait time.
