Application submitted 11:47am on 25 February 2022Still waiting for it, any ideas what the hell is taking so long. Was hoping for some news by now as they have some documents that i require now for another purpose and as usual cant get through to anyone.
We did a standard renewal on line for our 2 adult passports on 22/4/2022, with a pre validated photograph from a photoshop in town.
Mine was sent to Bootle & my wife’s sent to Durham.
Basically mine took 8 days to arrive, my wife’s 20 days
An OK service considering.Application submitted 22/4/2022

Old passport officially received – 10th May
Passport application approved – 12th MayWaiting for the next stage…
Quite quick in my opinion.
It takes a week or more for the passport office to officially acknowledge “receipt” (this “OFFICIALLY RECEIVED” date is actually the start of the 10 week count) even though the old passport arrived in their mail room.
Hi all. I was abit nervous when I was told about the 10 week turnaround time as we had already booked our holiday and I applied 5 weeks before we fly out. After reading posts on this forum I did see hope and thought it will come in time. There was a delay with the passport being shown as officially received (two weeks from when it was actually signed for). After that everything went fine.

Good luck to everyone waitingAre you guys aware of this website? Similar thread running since 2011
Of course this is just an interpretation of these guides and obviously actual process may be different internally, but they give you an idea.
There are lots of these guides for staff online – they all start with the url assets (dot) publishing (dot) service

Passport received – 10th MayDaughter 2 first child passport to Bootle is [documents received by Passport Office]
Application online 3 May 2022
Royal Mail confirmed delivery to postroom (with a signature this time) – 5 May
Documents officially received – 16th MayIll keep updating to give others a rough timeline.
Anyone have any updates in regards to the manual review of passports at the Liverpool office?
Mines in processing and wondering if anyone has a processing stage success story other than 6-8 weeks.
Here’s our timeline for our child’s first passport.
We applied online and documents sent to Bootle. We had also submitted a request to upgrade 14days prior to travel but was never called back.
The upgrade request was sent to the London office as that’s our closest. Perhaps a coincidence, but the application was approved last Friday 13th which may be why we didn’t get called. We travel this Sunday 21st May. The passport was posted by DHL this morning. Best of luck to everyone!
