Passport Timelines

Here is my data point for an adult renewal:

-Applied online June 17th @ 10:00a
-Approval email received July 10th @ 10:15a

Location: BC

So depending on how you count the business days it was 15-17 (including or excluding day of application and day of approval).

Approval email document indicates “usually 5 business days” for receipt of document through the post.
