Application submitted 9:08am on 14 March 2020Liverpool office is the worst for sure looking at this forum. Whilst good to see things age moving, seeing other peoples receiving passports significantly quicker is infuriating…
Id love to see the system – I have images in my head of hundreds of passports in a lottery style machine, spinning and spinning until it ejects the one lucky passport for that day…

Application submitted 11:12pm on 19 March 2020Emigrating from Australia back to the UK on 15th August but due to the inefficiency of the Liverpool passport office I may have to leave my family behind while I go back to start my new job. I will have to pay for temporary accommodation and my wife will be forced to take a long flight, on her own with two very children. Two months after I leave, their Australian visa will expire and they will be in Australia illegally if her passport is not received. I have sent several emails only to get the same answer “the passport is being processed and we don’t know when it will be ready” and “do not book travel without having recieved her passport.”
This is not OK. I understand it is difficult with the restrictions but people’s lives and being severely impacted.
Just got the passport in the post today in Germany

Hi,
I am really unfortunate person who is waiting from 6th of March. Keep contact with HMPO lot of times. Now apparently they informed me I need to go for interview but they don’t know when! I am now just hopeless. Now a days even HMPO customer don’t know you don’t need an Interview for first adult passport!
Thanks for askingWanted to share my experience of renewing an adult UK passport, applying from Australia, so it went to the Liverpool office.
I did DM HMPO via twitter, which i think resulted in some action!
It’s due to arrive on 30th of July 2020.Application history
