Will it arrive in time?

Child renewal passport Passport printed 10:12pm on 31 March 2022 Application approved 3:33pm on 28 March 2022 Do you think it will arrive in time? I spoke to a member of the progress team Monday 28th March and she said we would have it by 1st/4th April. We travel on the 9th April and the worry it doesn't come is too much. I am checking the TNT Final Mile website every couple of hours and they are nothing but helpful on the phone of 'when we get it you can come and get it from your local depot' which is great but they haven't got it yet' so the worry continues. Is there realistically anything I can do at all to help this situation?

It *should* do but I think it really depends on where you are in the country and local TNT staffing; and, whether the passport is being printed centrally or locally (ie at an application centre). Our child's first passport was only printed yesterday PM and arrived today..literally within 24hrs! With our child renewal it was 3 days from printing (26/03) to receiving (29/03). I'm not sure what else you can do other than call the passport office again. Really hope you get something on the TNT tracker soon. I can imagine how stressful this is!

TNT Tracking has just updated! It is in Manchester and should be delivered tomorrow! Spoken to a lady at TNT Passport line and she advise I move the date on the TNT Final Mile to tomorrow instead of Thursday as it was. The relief is crazy that we might actually get it after waiting since the 19th January.

Passport arrived 10:56 today through our letterbox - it was picked up last night at 16:03 by TNT and appeared on the TNT Final mile website shortly after. We used the TNT Final Mile to move the delivery date from Thursday (7th) to Today Wed (6th) easily. Arrived at the TNT depot at in the early morning and then out for delivery around 6:30 this morning. Arrived 10:56. The relief is crazy at the moment and we can now book things for the holiday without feeling guilt. We fly in less than 48 hours so we cut it extremely close! Hope everyone gets there passports as soon as possible. In all honesty we couldn't do anything to make it happen faster, no magic number apart from waiting. The ONLY thing we had a control of was when TNT had it we got it delivered a day earlier than planned.
