I've heard some nightmare stories. I got mine renewed just before the whole COVID nightmare started
Only 8 weeks, I know there’s a lot of people waiting longer. spent a long time today trying to find out what the statuses mean but none the wiser! On the 24th it was “at the examination part of the process” or something and today it’s just “awaiting checks”.
If we knew which office it was at, we’d potentially try the desperado turning up trick if it’s not here soon, but can’t find out how to find out where it’s gone!

I sent my passport off to change my surname in April...still waiting for it back
Did you apply online? When I sent off my old passport I had to send it to the Durham office. I think it’s shocking that some are taking so long.
That’s awful, hope you get it soon.
March and April ones seem the worst from what I’ve read today.
UK passports are printed in Poland so there's not much point
It seems to be so hit and miss. I had to renew mine last year. I did it online two months before the expiry date with a digital photo and got my new passport a week later!
I was pleasantly surprised, especially as I'd heard several tales of it taking weeks.

The UK's new navy blue passport will be a decidedly European affair. The idea of a return to a blue passport was used by the "Leave" campaign.

It's implied by this part of the article:
The UK government said the final stages of manufacturing will take place in the UK to "ensure no personal data leaves the country."
My sisters was printed in Glasgow on the day she went
You can turn up to any office and they can send the info over and print it
I sent mine off on the 13th June and got it delivered today. I was dreading the delay but I'm assuming I've just been lucky. It wasn't even a direct renewal as my other passport expired two years ago

It was implied but has never been made clear. There was a FOI request but never answered.
Where are passports printed? - a Freedom of Information request to HM Passport Office
I am unable to apply for a passport because I suffer from an extremely severe form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that has largely to do with locations. To apply, I need to know the following: - Where are applications processed? I am not asking for the exact location - city or even county...
Ive also read that they’re printed in Poland but I think it’s just the passports then they get sent here for the personal information to be put on.

They were made in France before Poland and all the information was forwarded then so there's no reason to believe otherwise now
