Whats this interview thing about ?

First time applications now have an interview – basically to verify you are who you say you are.
Questions include spell your name, how would you get to your local Tesco for example, how would you walk to a location from your house, describe your house, questions about family, where are you going with the passport – nothing really difficult and easy to answer basically simple things you would know but someone trying to steal your identity probably won’t

still nothing for us on tracker or my mail

[Cherryblossom]

I never had an interview and it’s my first passport after naturalisation. I never had an interview, so I don’t think that all applicants needs to be interviewed

[sweetmelody]

Good news for you!Mine is first passport after naturalisation too. My timeline is 2 weeks after yours @cherryblossom but just wanted to know if you had to chase them up or was it just approved without you calling in? I’m just starting to get worried.

[Cherryblossom]

I never contacted them at all. Tomorrow is 6 weeks since I submitted the application online and Thursday is 3 weeks since they notified me on the tracker that they received my documents.

I have just been notified by email that my passport was printed and ready to be sent to the delivery partner

Hoping for some advice!

I desperately need some form of identification for a job interview but as I have submitted my application and documents since 24/3/22 I am stuck! I have no proof to work physically at the moment as i stupidly followed the rules (turns out you really shouldn’t stick to the rules as our PM has demonstrated) and destroyed my Biometric after receiving my naturalisation certificate!

When I applied in March the waiting time was 6 weeks – I’m 6 weeks tomorrow and still ‘being progressed’. Tried to call but of course cannot get anywhere. They never reply to my online enquiries. Should I contact my MP and anyone has any experience in this?

Hi all,

I could do with a bit of advice.

I posted off my daughters passport for renewal 2 weeks ago today using the Royal Mail (RM) signed for. It is now showing (and has been since Thurs 21 as “due for delivery today”. I have rung RM about this who said they dont sign for every delivery as they receive thousands and so it will have been delivered [im not so sure]

It was to the Liverpool Office and I have just had a message reminder to send documents. does anyone have any recent experience of how long it is taking them to open the post and record douments as received. They say to wait 11 working days which technically would be Friday this week with the bank holiday etc.

Any advice/recent experiences appreciated.

my experience
i sent my son passport to bootle on 4/4/2022 by royal mail,next day delivery.it should have been delivered 5/4/2022, still showing ready for delivery. i made a claim as lost on 13/4/2022, still waiting for result.
I had taken copy of that passport before sending original to passport office.i sent copy of that passport to passport office by royal mail, it was delivered and signed by passport office.

i think my son original passport was lost by royal mail.when i phoned to royal mail, they said number of document s delivered to passport office to high, not very document scanned. it seems to be not true.
regards

Be interesting to see what happens for me then.

On signed for page of Royal Mail is says mine was due to be delivered on 21 April too. So will see what happens over next couple of days. Did your tracking number ever say it was actually delivered. Mine is stuck on due to be delivered today (has been since 21 april) but they told me it will have been delivered as they dont sign for hundreds of items each day.

We shall see,..

[Woodhj_uk]

As if by magic…mine has just updated. Exactly the same dates as @Tamelly

Application online – 19th April
Passport “ready for delivery” from Warrington MC – 21st April
Old passport officially received – 4th May

If you used one of the Royal Mail tracked services, tracked 24 or 48, I’ve found that when these services are used to deliver to large organisations then quite often the final update doesn’t seem to happen, I assume they get put into mail bags and the final delivered scan doesn’t happen – Even though it’s more expensive the service to use to send to HMPO is special delivery – these do get the signature and a delivered update. I am sure it’s not lost – just hasn’t been scanned when delivered.
