That’s great news! So happy you’ve got your passport approved and now awaiting delivery. Bet that’s such a relief and now you can finially relax..

Ive not had any further updates since last week…
My eldest passport was recieved on Thursday 26th May so awaiting further updates on that application tracker. let’s hope this just get approved and they don’t require proof of parental responsibility like my youngest daughter.

My youngest daughters passport was recieved on Monday 23rd May. Thursday 26th May they’ve requested I changed photo so uploaded new photo straight away and they’ve requested proof of parental rresponsibility.Sent birth certificate on friday 27th May and royal mail shows that this was recieved and signed for this morning so hopefully I will have some sort of update this week on her application.

Let’s hope it’s straight sailing after all this got my fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Thank you Steff. I think we may add a passport party to the Queens Jubilee celebrations!

I am sure you will have good progress on both passports next week taking into account the bank hols.
Both your daughters passports are definitely being actioned now so I think you can also try to relax.

It is so worrying. I will keep a look out for your updates ! x

Super news Steff! I am sure you will receive approval for your youngest daughter very soon 🙂
We received my sons passport this morning so very happy bunnies here x

[steff1304]

That’s fantastic news I glad you’ve recieved your sons passport 😀 now you can be stress free and look forward to your holiday!

I’ve been on the phone to passport office this afternoon and they’ve applied a like for like on her documents from her previous passport application, the women I spoke to was confused as to why they asked for parental responsibility in the first place as it was a renewal.

I’ve now been assured that the application is now ready for approval I just need to wait for a couple of days for it to be updated on the tracker.

Happy Mummy just awaiting for updates now hopefully in the next couple of days!!

[steff1304]

[beccyavison]

Thankyou steff, finally spoke to a real person… sadly put me on hold for 1hr 21 mins to be told they had put me through to wrong person (cleaners staff room 🥴)and couldn’t redivert call so had to start again… to be put on hold for another 53 minutes… they hung up!!!! 😡 🤬😤😖 gonna have cuppa calm down and try again…

[steff1304]

Oh no it sounds like your having a nightmare of a time.. hopefully you’ll get it sorted today especially as it’s been 11 weeks that’s you’ve been waiting.. A little heads up ask them to put you through to the progress team as they’re the only ones that can access your application and progress it further.. I’ve been on the phone to them today and my youngest daughter application has finally been approved.

Good luck I hope you get your daughter passport sorted soon!! 🙂

[sharonlynn]

Fantastic news for you Steff ! Now you too can relax and look forward to your holiday 🙂 x

[steff1304]

Thanks Sharon I’m glad it’s finally all been sorted I found that persistance was key for this to be were it now as it still probably would of been processing if I hadn’t called them and got the progress team to sort it..

Very happy mummy I can finally relax and wait for our family holiday!! Xx
