We received approval today but unlike with my daughters first passport 2 years ago no same day notification that it’s being printed & posted so I’ll wait for that news and post when it happens:
Application submitted 9:18pm on 16 August 2021
Ask someone to confirm your identity 9:18pm on 16 August 2021
Email sent to person confirming your identity 9:24pm on 16 August 2021
Identity details received 3:42pm on 17 August 2021
Application received 3:42pm on 17 August 2021
Documents received 12:21pm on 24 August 2021
Application approved 10:52am on 11 September 2021
Like other posters I never received notification it was “being processed” but I’ve just read through the sms notifications for my daughter’s passport and there was no notification for that then either.
