Anyone had any joy with Newport recently? Mine went into processing on 30th March, just wondering how long they’re taking

Hi, has anyone had any success with Newport office, they have had my application for over 10 weeks now? has anyone had any successful upgrades?

[Cariad94]

Doesn’t seem to be many of us at Newport! I’ve been waiting 5 weeks for a lost passport. What seems to be your hold up?

[jgreenidge85]

APPLIED ON THE 28/2/22 RENEWAL/NAMECHANGE
DOCUMENTS SENT ON THE 28/2/22
SIGNED FOR ON THE 4/3/22
SCANNED ON THE SYSTEM ON THE 29/4/22
BEEN IN PRCOESSING EVER SINCE

IT ORIGINALY WENT TO THE BOTTLE OFFICE BUT WAS SENT TO NEWPORT AS THEY HAD SHORTAGES.

EVERY ADVISOR I GET IS EITHER HELPFUL OR NOT BUT THEY ALL CANT DO ANYTHING BUT LEAVE MESSAGES.

THEY ALL SAY YOU CAN UPGRADE TWO WEEKS BEFORE TRAVEL AT A COST, BUT TODAY THE LADY SAID THERE WOULD BE NO COST AS THEY HAD HAD IT FOR A LONGTIME, BUT I CANT REQUEST UNTIL 2 WEEKS BEFORE TRAVEL.

[Cariad94]

Surely you can push for it to be expedited now as they’ve had it so long? I would keep emailing them asking them to prioritise due to the length of time you’ve been waiting

[jgreenidge85]

TRUST ME I HAVE RANG THEM ALMOST EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST WEEK, THEY HAVE ASKED A MANAGER AT THE NEWPORT OFFICE TO CALL ME, IF I DONT GETA REPLY TODAY I WILL CALL AGAIN. DO YOU HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS?

[Cariad94]

Only the ‘contact us’ form via the website. Good luck! Let us know how you get on

Just had a child renewal from the Newport office completed/delivered in 15 days
applied online 26.4, documents sent on 29th April – new passport received today.

Was a standard renewal, communication and service from the office was excellent.

I was a bit stressed with the horror stories in the press, but they seem to be doing a great job at present.
