That’s great news 🙂 , how long after they received documents did you get approved ??
The wait is stressing me out now!! Xx

Yes, we have been approved on 23rd March but no news about it being printed yet.

Is there a different number to call ? I mean to ask about the printing delay ?

Adult passport renewal from Spain

March 10: Online application received
March 10: Old passport sent by recorded delivery
March 15: Old passport delivered according to courier company
March 29: Still nothing….

I have not had my old passport processed or received a documents received update to say they have it in the Durham office. Is this normal two weeks after it allegedly arrived? Could it be lost?

pkenny12 they received my documents on 23rd Feb and it was approved today 29th March. Fingers crossed for you, waiting is the worst! Xx

[hs99]

sarahinf maybe it’s worth asking for a call back? The lady told me when I called the normal HMPO number when you request a call back you get put through to the team who can see your application in depth and can answer any questions? X

Oh wow today must be my lucky day! I’ve been so stressed about this passport! However I recieved a text this morning to say it’s been approved and I’ve just received another one to say it’s been printed and will be given to TNT soon! Gone from waiting weeks to it all happening in one day. Reading the forums I was preparing to wait a few more weeks! Good luck everyone hope you get answers soon x

[pkenny12]

Thank you for replying, I’m hoping because we are already with an examiner it will be done quickly after the new documents are put on.

hs99 that’s fantastic !! Congrats ! They can actually be quick like this if they want. I had to wait more than 1 month just to get approved 😭

Has anyone had their passport approved on the 24th March and heard anything more about printing or delivery? I rang on Monday and someone told me that they are sure it would have been printed but it was just the Tnt had not picked it up and was pretty certain that I would see it put for delivery today. As I heard nothing, I tried again today, got put through the to the progress team who told me that the person on the phone told me what I wanted to hear. This is very unfair of them and no one seems to take account for giving accurate up to date information, baring in mind that we’re are for this service.

My mrs application was approved on 24th and had printed notification 29th. Still waiting for tnt tracking to work.
