turnaround from receipt of customer request by 11:00 to completion of the processing of the application by 16:30 on the same working day.
The customer will be able to collect the documents by 16:30 on the same day or the documents shall be sent by Royal Mail special delivery, where this is included in the service, or where the applicant so requests on the application form: Within the UK this provides for a
