    Hsr- all first adult passport applicants have to attend an interview. They are currently being held online via video call. 🙂

    diz17 – there are some exceptions like below:

    UK and overseas customers we will not interview
    We must try to recognise customers who are exempt from attending an interview before inviting them to make an appointment.

    If we have enough information from identity checks, we will not interview an adult customer applying for their first British passport when they:

    are 70 years old or over unless there are any fraud concerns
    were naturalised within the last 12 months and UK Visa and Immigration service’s records confirm the customer’s photo identity and personal details (unless there have been changes to their name since they were naturalised)
    are members of HM Armed Forces applying for their first British passport
    are dependants of members of HM Armed Forces and can be verified from Home Office records
    are members or dependants of members of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and they are also applying for a Diplomatic or Official passport

    I’m getting super stressed, sent first adult passport application on 22 Feb. The documents were sent tracked on 23rd and received on 24th yet still no update from Peterborough passport office to say they have been received. I need the passport to travel on 9th April and worried it’s not going to come now.
    I’ve called 3 times and waiting for a callback from the progress team but I’m worried they’ve lost the documents or something so it will be delayed even longer 🙁
    I hate this waiting game.

    Rayray777 I’m glad it’s not just me. There seems to be problems at Peterborough passport office, but it doesn’t ease my concerns that I’m not going to get my passport in time.
    I’m praying this call back gives me some good news, I just want to keep ringing until someone tells me that they’ve got them.
    Is your son’s a first time child passport?
    Most people have been getting there’s within a week to 10 days, so I don’t understand why I’m now on day 11 and still no update 😩

    LAD Is yours 11 working days? I actually sent mine on the 23rd Feb and I’m still on no update.
    I know some people have received there’s after 10 working days so not including the weekends, so yours might still turn up before 10 working days have passed depending on when you sent it?
