Does anyone have any recent experience as to how long it takes for documents to be returned after the application has been approved?
I had to send off a non British passport, that I have due to dual-citizenship, as part of my British passport renewal application. I’ll be travelling to that country soon as so need the passport back as soon as possible.
My application was approved 2 weeks ago, and I received my new British passport last week, should I be chasing the office for an update?
For context I paid for signed for/tracked return of documents.
April 5, 2022 at 10:26 am #11676TikTacParticipantI am still waiting for my passport which was printed on 1st April, TNT tracker had it for delivery yesterday but nothing arrived. Need it to fly on Saturday, cannot even check in on the flight.
April 5, 2022 at 10:45 am #11678Noctule8ParticipantThanks lovie im beginning to think either my examiner is on a very long tea break or gone on holiday lucky thing !!!.
April 5, 2022 at 12:27 pm #11680gracelay25Participantcmckenzie444 – our child first passport was approved 30/03 and printed late last night so fingers crossed yours will be printed real soon !
April 5, 2022 at 2:14 pm #11694happynowParticipantHi, posting here because I found this forum really useful. Flying out on Sunday and passport arrived this morning (child’s first passport). Didn’t receive any advance notification from TNT, just kept trying the tracking code (after receiving update that passport had been printed last wednesday), which started working late last night. Fingers crossed for anyone waiting, it’s been a really stressful few weeks.
The big gap in the middle of our application is when we were asked to provide more paperwork, in addition to what was originally asked for (also two sets of 10 working day delays between royal mail ‘delivering’ our paperwork and passport office ‘receiving’ it). I don’t think the rules at the start are clear for adopted children [we were asked for birth certificate OR adoption certificate. We sent birth certificate. They asked us to then send adoption certificate…].

Application submitted 5:05pm on 17 February 2022April 5, 2022 at 4:01 pm #11721dsimmoParticipantcmckenzie444 – also approved on 31st March, at 12:59. No further notifications since then, waiting impatiently! Also first child’s passport.
April 5, 2022 at 4:02 pm #11722dsimmoParticipantCan I please ask what format you enter the reference into TNT? Do you use the PEX part?
April 5, 2022 at 4:10 pm #11727l10nrdParticipantYes you use the PEX reference until you get the TNT reference number and press on the number it will take you to the tracker.
April 6, 2022 at 7:06 am #11774dsimmoParticipantI printed this morning just after 5am
April 6, 2022 at 7:14 am #11776l10nrdParticipantHad my passports yesterday, one was due Monday and the other today according to TNT tracking. Was told that COVID jab and booster record cards are not acceptable for travelling, need to get certificate from NHS another 7 to 10 working days before delivery, need them before the 18th of this month
April 6, 2022 at 8:36 am #11781cmckenzie444Participantdsimmo – great news on your child’s passport getting printed. Got my fingers crossed that my sons will be next off the printing press!
April 6, 2022 at 9:21 am #11785TikTacParticipantAn update on my child renewal
approved on 24th, did not get the notification of printed till 1st April, tracking was available from 1st late afternoon with a delivery date of 4th April. Passport was not delivered as stated, called TNT yesterday and they put it out for delivery today, delivered on 6th.
Checked the dates on the passport and it was printed on 25th March, 10 days to get to me. Completely unacceptable work by HMPO and their subcontractors.
April 6, 2022 at 9:37 am #11788louisej23ParticipantDo you know how long it was between your documents being signed for at the passport office and you getting the approved confirmation? I’ve had to send additional docs for proof of parental responsibility (not sure why) but they were signed for 8 days ago, so I’m hoping for an update soon!
April 6, 2022 at 10:56 am #11805TikTacParticipantlouisej23, My timeline below. I called them on 24th March and the same evening it was approved, don’t know if it is a coincidence

I too fly out on the 22th. Some serious lessons learnt.
