No, I haven’t. I spoke to them today morning and was told the same thing that they have sent a message across to Liverpool office and can’t do anything else. The person on the phone wasn’t very professional and his tone was somewhat rude. I have decided to send a letter to the Liverpool office with all the details. I can’t think of anything else that can be done to get in touch with them directly. The telephone service is very much useless and I am not going to wait around anymore.
Just received the email to say my documents have been received. UPS confirmed that they were delivered on 8 March, so 24 working days
At Durham mine was about 3 weeks when I sent it at beginning of March. If it’s gone a month I would call them. Did you have the delivery tracked so you can prove somewhat they have it ? I think things have got a lot more backlogged at this point though.
Mine took 22 days in Liverpool.
Only thing that makes sense in my mind is they have a “just pile it on” post “system”.
Spoke to loads of people with similar and most from the week starting 7th march were delayed yet some who sent 2-3 weeks after them were getting logged in 2 days.
Durham also take all the international passports, so it maybe even more massively backed up. I believe mine was almost 3 weeks back until they showed up online in March. I would make sure you send the documents using a traceable delivery.
Delivery was tracked (which is why I know they received it on 14 March). I phoned on Friday and the lady I spoke to took notes and said she was emailing the Durham office.

Hi @Upsidedown,
Great to hear that your document receipt has been acknowledged. Like you I am applying for an adult renewal from overseas and it’s now been a week since my documents were signed for in Durham so I guess based on your experience I should expect to be waiting a few weeks before it gets picked off the pile and acknowledged…
Please update on your progress as I will be monitoring with interest!

@tillybobs – have you had any more updates? I too have submitted for a first childs passport on 17th March. Documents recieved 5th April (11 working days after they were signed for) no more updates since.
@meera0108 I would think it’s from when they receive your documents, as there is not much they can do to start your processing before they get the previous passport and supporting documents.
