How long does the OPG take to register an LPA in 2026?

Currently 8 to 20 weeks from the point the OPG receives a complete, valid application. The OPG publishes current processing times on gov.uk — worth checking before you order. The wait is the same for every provider — it's a government process. The part providers control is how quickly you reach registration stage. Most providers add 6–12 weeks of drafting and back-and-forth before submission. With us, that part can happen the same day.
