Hi, posting here because I found this forum really useful. Flying out on Sunday and passport arrived this morning (child’s first passport). Didn’t receive any advance notification from TNT, just kept trying the tracking code (after receiving update that passport had been printed last wednesday), which started working late last night. Fingers crossed for anyone waiting, it’s been a really stressful few weeks.

The big gap in the middle of our application is when we were asked to provide more paperwork, in addition to what was originally asked for (also two sets of 10 working day delays between royal mail ‘delivering’ our paperwork and passport office ‘receiving’ it). I don’t think the rules at the start are clear for adopted children [we were asked for birth certificate OR adoption certificate. We sent birth certificate. They asked us to then send adoption certificate…].
