I wouldn't mind a blue passport.
It will go nicely with my red Irish one. |  | | |

I applied officially new years eve and for my daughters about a week later then fed ex collected all the docs from us a few days later after we fiddled around for the best price....and top tip here for anybody having to send more than 1 passport if your situation requires it....you can bundle them in together as long as the ref numbers of each applicant are clear on the envelope and all put organised inside too....therefore saving a stupid price ....which it will be from abroad for the courier sending it to Durham.......All that said they are on the way.....very quick turnaround.
I would get it done Florida .... we should have and we have risked making life harder than it is or could have been. [Post edited 23 Jan 2020 18:14]

It all seems a lot of trouble to go to when, if you want a blue passport, you can just buy a cover for a couple of quid.
Oh well. I’ve quite a few years left on mine unless they decide we can’t use the existing ones any more. |  |

This is why I'm interested as to when the 'new' passports are issued. Mine has expired but really would prefer to wait for the new design. | | | |

It's the crossover period. Some are burgundy at the moment, others blue. Once the burgundy ones are all gone, you'll get one of the French-made ones. |  |

From the GOV site florida.....btw the EU bit has already gone
The new blue passport design will start being issued from early 2020.
Blue passports will be phased in over a number of months. If you renew your passport during this initial period, you may be issued with either a blue or a burgundy British passport. All styles of passport will be equally valid for travel.
All British passports issued from mid-2020 will be blue. | |

I've just got mine and my daughter's renewed, they arrived through the post on Wednesday.
Both are burgundy.
Only took 8 days from sending off the forms to receiving the ones, with helpful texts from HMPO keeping me updated. Pretty slick service all round really. |  | | |

While it is a French / Dutch company who won the contract I am pretty sure they are in fact being made in Poland. |  |

So if you want a quick turn-around on your passport, now is the time to do it, as all the rabid brexiteers will hold off until the last moment in the hope of getting a blue one. |  |

The UK doesn't have the basic skills & commercial competence to make its own pasport.
Can't make much else without materials & components coming from the EU either | | | |
