Hi how lucky were you my application was submitted to Liverpool on the 6th of March my documents received on the 17th although signed for on the 9th and only went to approval on the 4th April. Still awaiting printing and delivery. Although my main reason of replying is to confirm to you and warn others regarding what you had heard and seen on Tik Tok. My old passport had an expiry date of October 2022 but was issued in April 2012 the extra 6 months were added on from my previous passport. I knew of the ruling that the EU requires 3 month validity on a British Passport but not the one where it does not recognise any added on months and therefore requires those months to be within a 10 year passport. However I discovered this to my horror when trying to board a Ryanair flight to Lanzarote and told I could not board the plane due to my passport not meeting the requirements of the EU.!!. Let me just say it was a very long walk back in reverse through departures and backdoor of security and how I did not end up in the divorce court by the time we arrived home I will never know. But now I’m approved hopefully I will be making the journey again on the 1st of May
