Djbdane – still find it strange how yours took so long to go to printed, when people approved after you got theirs delivered long before yours. Glad yours is out of delivery, about time.
Amy93 – thank you, I am hopeful I have enough time, already decided if it’s due to be delivered on a day I am at work, I will call in sick as we have no letterbox so we have to be in to have it delivered. Most time frames are being delivered within a week, but then you do get the unlucky ones, who go past this time frame.
@amy93 I did read somewhere that Royal Mail are having to step in to deliver some in order to clear the backlog, so it could be your new passport!

They switched to courier to speed the service up and make it more secure – but clearly the contract went to the lowest bidders, who obviously can’t handle the quantities involved (OK post COVID this is obviously adding extra pressure) but it’s not as if a passport comes in a large box requiring lots of vans etc, you can probably get tens of thousands of passports in a van, there really is no excuse for the poor service from TNT.
@isabel – oh really? Fingers crossed then.
Jespop30 – Absolutely! Can’t risk missing it!! That would be a right pain! Hope yours comes asap xx
Amy93 – be interesting to see if it is your new passport as I don’t remember getting an email for any of the 3 old passports on the day of delivery.
Hopefully both of us with have the new passports soon.
Just got a text and an email that I must sign passport when received before using it – I guess it means it’ll be delivered today.
Or maybe it has already, as I am at work, not at home…
Very lucky to receive yours in one day from it being printed, most things I’m reading are saying allow a week from printed. Did you call up tnt or do anything to ensure this?
Fingers crossed for all of you. Does anyone have any experience with getting a call back from the processing team in Liverpool? I’ve was told last week they would get someone to call me in 48 hours and still no call. Due to travel on 2nd April and still waiting for daughter’s first child passport. Applied on 29th December 🙁

No, haven’t done anything – it was the same as for @ djbdane in post #10336 – first it was showing delivery two days later, then updated to the next day.
Ha, I just checked TNT again and it says “Driver Delivery” and has a photo of my flat door. I’ll have to wait another ~6 hours to find out if it has been dropped off through the letterbox.

Exactly the same for me – and I have it in my hand – so I would think it’s safe to assume it’s been posted through
So it’s arrived! Yipee!! So here is my full timeline for reference – in total 30 days from application going in to passport in hand, first time application with online interview. I am assuming this is the digital pathway as there was no processing update, straight from docs received to approved. Good luck everyone still waiting.
