What Is the Difference Between the 2-Day and 7-Day Passport Service?

If you need a UK passport urgently, you have two main options through Next Day Passport — the 2-Day Premium Service and the 7-Day Fast Track Service. Both are designed to get your passport as quickly as possible, but they work differently and suit different situations. Here's a clear breakdown to help you choose.

The 2-Day Premium Service — £199 Concierge Fee

This is our fastest option and is ideal if your travel date is imminent.

Here's how it works:

• Available for adult passport renewals only
• We book an HM Passport Office Premium appointment approximately 2 days ahead
• Our representative attends the appointment on your behalf
• Your passport is printed approximately 4 hours after the appointment
• Optional same-day collection or delivery available

This service is best for you if:

• You're travelling within the next 1-5 days
• You cannot attend a passport office appointment yourself
• You want the fastest possible turnaround with minimum stress

The 7-Day Fast Track Service — £149 Concierge Fee

This is a postal service with a slightly longer turnaround, but it's available to a wider range of applicants.

Here's how it works:

• Available for both adults and children
• No appointment attendance required — everything is done by post
• We assist with your application and guide you through every step
• Your passport is delivered directly to you within approximately 7 days

This service is best for you if:

• Your travel date is at least 7-10 days away
• You're applying for a child's passport
• You're comfortable with a postal process and don't need same-day turnaround

Not Sure Which One You Need?

If you're still unsure, the simplest rule is this — if you're travelling within a week, go for the 2-Day Premium. If you have more time or need a child's passport, the 7-Day Fast Track is the right choice.
