20-day delivery of new passports can't be guaranteed 'due to unprecedented demand'

Those in need of a replacement urged to get applications in as early as possible

Manx residents in need of a new passport are being urged to get their applications in as early as possible due to unprecedented demand.

The Isle of Man Passport Office says it currently can't guarantee the standard 20-day delivery for an Islands British passport.

Government says the express five-day service and applications for Emergency Travel Documents are currently taking priority.
