I got an email back from mine asking for information of what office and my application dates etc.. he emailed me back the next day saying he was following up on it with the head of that office since I’m overseas with no valid proof of a visa. If you give them a subject of urgency they look into it for you.
First time overseas passport by decent from New Zealand
Passport printed 2:57pm on 10 March 2022

Application received 10:53am on 15 February 2022

Application submitted 3:22am on 15 February 2022Documents were delivered to passport office on 21st of February. Passport arrived in NZ on 21st of March.
Finally got my passport to New Zealand! Took 5 weeks as advertised.
This is my timeline (received a text with tracking number after numerous phone calls and urgencies)
Passport received 21st March via DHL
Passport tracking number received 17th March
Passport printed 9:50pm on 9 March 2022
Application approved 1:17pm on 8 March 2022
Documents received 7:15pm on 2 March 2022
Application received 12:00am on 15 February 2022
Application submitted 11:59pm on 14 February 2022I sent two adult passport renewal, one went to Liverpool and the other went to Durham.
Here’s my timeline
For Liverpool:
Application Submitted: 24 Feb 2022
Application Received: 24 Feb 2022
Documents Received: 5 Mar 2022
Application Approved: 5 Mar 2022
Passport Printed And Sent 7 Mar 2022So It took only 11 days
For Durham:
Application Submitted: 24 Feb 2022
Application Received: 24 Feb 2022
Documents Received: 11 Mar 2022
Application Approved: 15 Mar 2022
Passport Printed And Sent 17 Mar 2022It took 21 days
Apparently the reason why Durham took so long was because all international passports are also processed in Durham and it’s also their main office. This is according to the phone operator when I called them.
Hi there
Would be grateful for any you can give us.
We are going on holiday next week(30th march) and here are the timeless for application (child renewal)
25/02/22 post via post office check n send
03/03/22 application received
07/03/22 waiting for examinerWe are really freaking out as its so close (now 21/03) as of writing and told its with the durham office.
I would to know what our options are and any advice?
My daughters original passport was actually fine to use for this holiday by a couple of days but we didn’t want to risk and now feels stupid.
Im not sure if asking for the return of the passport would get actioned and sent back to us in time now?
Thanks
GaryI don’t think you could get it back because it takes 3/4weeks for return. You have to send in writing you want it returned. I’d hate to say it seems unlikely you will get it back in time.
Could you change your holiday dates? I’m so so sorry you are going through this.
Happy you got yours Viksnid! That’s a relief.
Mine moved into printed overnight on the 21/3 after being approved 14/3. Might turn up in time that I won’t need the ETD after all.
Overseas adult passport renewal. I am in Hong Kong.
Here’s my timeline:
Just received a SMS from HMPO saying that “Your new passport is being sent to the address you gave us”. No such update on the tracking link though.
Passport printed 5:44am on 22 March 2022
Application approved 3:20am on 17 March 2022
Documents received 8:08am on 14 March 2022 (Documents received and signed on 4 Mar according to DHL)
Application received 4:28am on 2 March 2022
Application submitted 4:27am on 2 March 2022Heard from my agent that DHL will send me my tracking number after the documents arrive in Hong Kong, which will usually take 5-7 days from the day which HMPO sent the documents. Hope to receive the passport by next week! 🙂
Due to travel 3 weeks today and application was approved last night. Such a relief it went straight to approval rather than the processing stage that seems to leave people without answers for weeks on end. So not fair the stress it puts on you. I’m due to fly out for my sisters wedding 3 weeks today so hoping it can move to print and sent within this time frame. Fingers crossed! Here’s my timeline so far;
Application approved 10:53pm on 21 March 2022
Documents received 4:49pm on 16 March 2022
Application received 7:37pm on 7 March 2022

I’m feeling super stressed! I feel like most people’s on here isn’t taking very long and soo many people have applied after me and already got theirs! I hope there’s nothing wrong with mine. Whenever I call I just get the standard you need to wait 10 weeks. I’ve emailed via the form online but no answer as of yet. Has anyone else been waiting this long? I really hope I get an update soon! 🙁 Mines an adult renewal
