It used to be 10 years here as well, for people over 18 - I think we had to change to 5 years for everybody when we joined the EU. In any case it's supposed to take less than five working days to get a new passport. A friend of mine, who is originally from the US, got all freaked out when she received a message from the police the day after she'd applied for a Swedish passport just after becoming a citizen - she thought they were calling her in for more interviews or something, but it turned out to be her new passport, waiting for her.

Thanks! The first trip is for an academic conference where I'm presenting a paper... I'm starting to feel a bit freaked out about that.
