Indeed, the turnaround is excellent. May be many people like us have been waiting, thereby there is not much backlog in the system. Will proceed accordingly.
Did you use the form filling function online? I assume once the form is filled, it would still be printed then be sent in together with the photo, old passport and of course the payment. We specifically took our passport photos on our last visit to Hong Kong in November as there are ID photo services with much better quality and much cheaper. 6 photos for HKD80. Still debate whether we should get the 52 pages book or not..
I just did the same with a name change and an expired passport for my daughter. We took it to the post office after Christmas and received it within 2 weeks, and our documents (marriage license, etc) received within 3. We did use the form filling function, printed it and brought it with us.
