Replacement of lost passport

[gradders]

Hi all – I have applied for a replacement of my lost passport and below is the stage I’m at. Could anyone please tell me if they’ve done this recently and how long they had to wait? The application was all done online.

Thanks 🙂

Hi I applied 23 march, went into processing on 30th march and still waiting for it to be approved. It seems that lost passports take 7/8 weeks to get approved

[Cariad94]

Actually that should be at least 7/8 weeks

I’ve read in another thread that it could be that the lost passport reference number didn’t pull through from the application so I am going to call them today to see that is the case, then I can update them with it – fingers crossed I get through!

I have been processing since 22nd March from lost passports. I hope it is only 7/8 weeks as that will be my 7 weeks Tuesday!

Hi,

I applied for a lost passport on 29th April. My application hasn’t even reached the processing stage yet.

I called this morning after reading a thread where the cancellation reference does not transfer over. The advisor told me he had added the reference to my application. They have received it but it just hasn’t been processed yet. He also advised I wouldn’t need to send any documents in and that it’s a straight forward renewal.

I am so stressed as it was 10 weeks from when I fly when I submitted the application :(, I am now on 8 weeks and still no progress!

Current tracking stage below:

Identity details received 10:43am on 29 April 2022
Email sent to person confirming your identity 9:58am on 29 April 2022
Email sent to person confirming your identity 9:12am on 29 April 2022
Ask someone to confirm your identity 8:45am on 29 April 2022
Application submitted 8:45am on 29 April 2022

I have the same problem, does anyone know if there’s a way of speeding up the process of replacing a lost passport?

[gradders]

Have you contacted them to give them your reference number you were given when you reported your passport as lost? Mine didn’t pull through from the application so when I rang them they said that is more than likely the reason why it went to processing instead of all being straight forward and automated.

[davbell87]

@gradders I can’t seem to get through to them. Just cuts out. I tried the option 8 option 3 and requested a call back… that was a week a go!

[gradders]

I was cheeky and went through the ‘speak to a welsh agent’ route out of sheer desperation and got through more or less straight away…

Not much hope for me of flying out on the 26th of this month with the application being processed since the 20th of April. In hindsight I should have went fast track. For those who have successfully got through the process online, how long did it take from successfully being processed to getting the passport delivered?
