GPopp – I had a phone call from the Liverpool office on 25th February to confirm a detail about my application and was told it was processing and wouldn’t be much longer. In the time since my passport has been sent to Peterborough and only marked as processing on 7th March and it is still processing 7.5 weeks later.
Still waiting for a printed notification here for our last 2 applications. 4 and 5 days since approval. Now into the 8th week since application.
Wonder why they’re taking a while to print all of a sudden? 3 weeks til we go. They need to get a move on!
I was told that because there are so many approved they are leaving them in system until TNT are picking up a batch at which point they are printed. Think it’s pick up and scanning by TNT is now the bottleneck. They would rather have them on system than 1000’s of actual passports lying about 🤷♀️
Amy94 – I have tracking information at last yay lol. Think it’s 7 days from approval you seem to be able to track. Due for delivery tomorrow, so we will see. Hopefully won’t need to take a day off from work now as working Wednesday and Thursday this week, so fingers crossed it arrives tomorrow.
ADgrams – that’s strange as my sons was approved last Monday and printed Wednesday, and only been able to track this past hour.
Jespop30 – the whole process is just strange. We have just cancelled our holiday and requested passport back to go Fasttrack .. glad your journey is nearly done 😎
@Jespop, was your sons application sent to Liverpool? And was it a new application or a renewal? I wonder if they go into different processing production lines or something?
My timeline to give others an idea as found this really useful (mine was adult renewal but surname changed to married name)
TNT tracking shows delivery due 30th March
Passport printed 5:44am on 23 March 2022
Application approved 3:33pm on 18 March 2022
Documents received 1:45pm on 16 March 2022
Documents delivered by RM tracking 1st March
Application received 11:32am on 27 February 2022
Application submitted 11:32am on 27 February 2022Sjb1980 – yes his application went to Liverpool and it was a first application. I’ve applied for another 4 passports at the time I applied for his, and they all came back within 3 weeks, that was 1 adult renewal, 2 child’s renewals and 1 child first. His one has been over 11 weeks now, I haven’t seen any take as long as his. My renewal went to Liverpool and from them recieving documents it was approved within 8 days would have been quicker but I had to resubmit a photo.
Hope this helps people, here was my timeline for renewal of a child’s passport:
Passport printed 2:13pm on 16 March 2022
Application approved 12:06am on 15 March 2022
Documents received 1:22pm on 10 March 2022
Application received 10:13am on 17 February 2022
Identity details received 10:13am on 17 February 2022
Email sent to person confirming your identity 7:27pm on 16 February 2022
Ask someone to confirm your identity 1:55pm on 13 February 2022
Application submitted 1:55pm on 13 February 2022The only thing I’d want to add is that it took a week from “Passport printed” to me actually receiving the passport.
Jespop30 – That’s great news. I finally got told by one of the agents yesterday that there is no chance of my daughter’s passport being here in time for our holiday on Saturday despite being approved on 23rd and us applying all the way back on 29th Dec. Now waiting on hold to our holiday provider to reschedule to the next school holidays in August 🙁
I hope everyone else’s arrive in time for your travels 🙂
