Our child renewal has just been approved. Here’s our timeline below. Perhaps a coincidence as the average seems to be around 30 days, but earlier yesterday I phoned Passport Office (standard response that they couldn’t do anything), and also sent a PM via Twitter saying the following:
“Hello, this application was received by you on 27th May. Could you please add to the application that we have a forthcoming urgent travel date of 5th August. Many thanks.”
