Surprised at the speed tbh, was worried about late August holiday as two passports needed (one new – processed much quicker than even the six week standard in non-Covid times).

July 15, 2020 at 12:31 pm #1969rbeeParticipantHas anyone else had a long delay from receiving the printed and sent message to the actual TNT text and receipt? We had two applications in Peterborough, submitted 29th May
approved 7th July
printed and sent 8th JulyFor the child’s passport we received the TNT text and passport on 10th July, the adult renewal has been radio silence since being printed and sent on 8th. The missing one was actually set to sent/print about 8 hours earlier than the one we’ve received?!
July 16, 2020 at 10:10 pm #2015Stefx88ParticipantThis is my timeline for my child’s first passport from Peterborough received today 16/07. It should have been delivered on Monday but TNT only text on the day to say it would be arriving and we were out.

July 17, 2020 at 8:32 am #2018Debs55ParticipantIt took my sons 5 days from being sent to receiving it from TNT. You don’t need to be in when it’s delivered, we were out on Monday and it was posted through the letter box.
July 17, 2020 at 9:29 am #2020rbeeParticipantYou can track on TNT website https://www.tnt.com/campaign/en_gb/hmpo.html
Enter your postcode and PAN (Passport Application Number) without PEX.
Wish I’d of know this sooner we didn’t get the TNT text, had we of tracked we’d of discovered one of ours went to a wrong address!
July 17, 2020 at 11:32 am #2024macqueen131476Participant5 days! Did that include weekend days?
My child’s passport was approved yesterday, half expecting it to be printed and posted today but I’m not 100% confident about that.
I’m due to travel first thing on Wednesday morning, very nervous few days ahead.
Thinking of just rescheduling flights to the week later, less stressful of not at significant cost
July 18, 2020 at 10:39 am #2053Debs55ParticipantYes it included the weekend, so it was printed and sent on Wednesday and we received it on the Monday, this was just last week from Peterborough.
July 21, 2020 at 11:40 am #2137natmacParticipantHow long do child renewals normally stay at the processing stage my child’s had been processing for 6 days now is this normal?
July 21, 2020 at 4:32 pm #2158KatieWilliamsParticipantI found this forum so helpful whilst I was waiting on my daughter’s passport. Here is my timeline:

Application submitted 12:13pm on 22 June 2020Passport delivered today – 21st July.
It took a long time for the documents to be scanned on to the system. I sent her old passport by recorded delivery and they were signed for on 26th June. We contacted our local MP’s secretary. She was very helpful. I believe that her intervention helped push it along, so it’s worth a shot for those of you worried. We travel on 7th August.July 28, 2020 at 11:03 am #2278DambusterParticipantI applied for a child renewal on 7th July. It took a week to even show as received and then a few days before showing as processing. I fly very soon, so I needed to expedite it.
I found that some staff said it is not possible to expedite – DO NOT listen to them! As long as you can prove that the flight was booked PRIOR to COVID and that you fly in less than two weeks you can get it expedited. Ours arrived today, 28/07/2020, so three weeks in total.When I finally had an agreement to expedite the passport, someone from the passport office called. We missed the call and this was a real nightmare as they only give the help desk number and you cannot actually speak to the person that left a message, then, because you missed the call you are put to the back of the queue and at most may have to wait another two days for a call back. It can be very stressful, so please make sure that if you are expecting a call you MUST answer the phone!
Something else to bear in mind – TNT said they tried to deliver the passport when they actually didn’t, because I have a dog who misses nothing! I then had to rearrange delivery which was not ideal. You cannot speak to anyone at TNT so you just have to have faith in their system. I read some horror stories about TNT losing passports, but thankfully I rearranged for the next day and it arrived safely.
So in summary, if you want expedited passport you have to persevere and make call after call. I did have to send proof of holiday booking too
The passport office must be overwhelmed, so I do think they did a great job given the circumstances

We are supposed to travel 12 August, only discovered his passport had expired on 21 July. Called the HMPO number immediately and the person said we should be ok? I’m not hopeful, very nervous about not travelling

Application submitted 4:28pm on 21 July 2020July 30, 2020 at 1:01 pm #2333DambusterParticipant@Rbann1 my advise is ignore what you’ve been told and call again asking for expedited service. I spent hours chasing, emailing etc. And mine still took 3 weeks. You could be ok but you really need to keep chasing and don’t accept ‘it’ll be ok’ as they have a 400,000 backlog. Expediting is possible but they won’t offer it unless you ask for it and it meets criteria
July 30, 2020 at 1:48 pm #2334RBann1ParticipantThankyou Dambuster, unfortunately we do not meet the criteria as we booked a couple of days short. They just keep saying that they cannot help and that it could be up to 6 weeks, what should i say?
