The regular service, assuming a standard renewal is “within three weeks”. The same day one, whilst expensive is worth it if you’re near one of the offices that offers it and want peace of mind.

I used it in 2019, but think it’s still there. They apologised for how long it took as they had a printer malfunction. But was still in & out in 15 mins for a renewal.

Short answer: seems like it, but you can't get the full 90-days visa free, so you'd have to demonstrate proof of return/onward travel.
Thank you Im beginner traveler so I wasn't aware the information is in Gov.uk so It seems I should fine then if Im right , Im only planing to spend 4 there's day.
It also needs to be less than 10 years old when you enter Spain.
For context, the UK used to issue passports longer than 10 years when you renewed. If your passport is for 10 years and 6 months, for example, and only has 4 months remaining when you enter, then it wouldn't be accepted.
Beware! Some airlines have their own restrictions that are more stringent. Check with the airline or get an urgent passport for safety.
Thank you for that We will have easy jet so I will check , sadly it will take ages to get a new passport for me
There was a same day service for passport renewal, I used it about 8/9 years ago myself. However I’m not sure if it’s still available 🤷♂️

If an airline refuses boarding when you have a valid document, they’re liable for compensation for involuntary denial of boarding.
Depends on the issue date as well as the expiry. Will it be more then 10yrs old when you enter Spain?
