Child renewal (age 13 so no need for countersigning).
Only thing that could have been better was that I sent the old passport by special delivery and this was signed for at 9am on Monday 25th April. The old passport wasn’t acknowledged as received until Monday 9th May (2 weeks). I received a generic text and email on Saturday 7th May saying please send your old passport, this started unnecessary panic that the old passport had gone missing. After it was acknowledged I was in receipt of the new passport within 5 days.
