[Andy Anderson]

We have been asked many times on twitter and email if we have info about how long people have to wait once they are in the processing queue. Please share here how long you were in the processing queue for.

Which passport office is dealing with your application Jim?

[jim]

I’m in Bristol and was expecting Newport but they were assigned to Liverpool.

[dhall]

Yeah, the one I’m waiting for went to Liverpool too, fingers crossed they’re done soon!

[jim]

Mine were approved late last night. Any idea how long they take to print and dispatch?

Application approved 8:55pm on 5 August 2019

I was assigned to the Liverpool office and was in the processing queue from 24 July to 2 August. I just received my passport today (6 August). Am still waiting for my documents, including my USA passport to be returned to me.

Mine was approved at 8:46pm on Friday, 2 August and I received my passport this morning, Tuesday 6 August. Luckily I was home to accept the courier delivery.

Thanks,

Looks like they print and dispatch pretty quickly once approved. Here’s one of mine, assuming it takes two days to arrive it will have been 17 days total from submission to receipt for a child renewal with no application issues.
