amirun87 thanks, I was thinking about that but I’m not very desperate for it as we don’t travel until 1st August x
March 30, 2022 at 6:21 pm in reply to: PANICKING – HELP! First time Child Passport (within UK) #11289hs99ParticipantSorry to jump on here is it easy to complete a childs first passport application online? I did my renewal through the post office but was going to try and do my sons online. I just overthink too much incase i do it wrong! Haha x
hs99ParticipantCan’t believe I can finally post this! Thought it was never going to come! My timeline below
Received today 30th March (apart from I was not in so I am collecting from TNT Depot tomorrow)
Passport with TNT 29th March
Passport printed 1:15pm on 29 March 2022
Application approved 8:56am on 29 March 2022
Application being processed 12:30pm on 24 February 2022
Documents received 7:36pm on 23 February 2022
Application received 10:11am on 14 February 2022
Application submitted 10:10am on 14 February 2022I had no correspondence from TNT until today I just put my application number in the tracking yesterday and that worked so that’s how I knew it was coming today 🙂 good luck all x
hs99ParticipantOh wow today must be my lucky day! I’ve been so stressed about this passport! However I recieved a text this morning to say it’s been approved and I’ve just received another one to say it’s been printed and will be given to TNT soon! Gone from waiting weeks to it all happening in one day. Reading the forums I was preparing to wait a few more weeks! Good luck everyone hope you get answers soon x
hs99Participantsarahinf maybe it’s worth asking for a call back? The lady told me when I called the normal HMPO number when you request a call back you get put through to the team who can see your application in depth and can answer any questions? X
hs99Participantpkenny12 they received my documents on 23rd Feb and it was approved today 29th March. Fingers crossed for you, waiting is the worst! Xx
hs99Participantoh wow!! I don’t know if speaking to the processing team yesterday helped but my application has finally been approved this morning! Relieved is an understatement!! Hopefully all of yours will be the same soon
hs99ParticipantAlso worriedgroom22 did you send your passport to Peterbrough and they sent it on to Durham? Or did you have to send additional documents? Not very fair how you have to wait extra weeks even though they had your passport and your application
hs99ParticipantHiya worriedgroom22 I called the normal HMPO number and I asked them to put in a call back to the processing team for me, I called on Friday and she advised 48 hours so I called again today and she said unfortunately she will need to put in another call back and I’ll have to wait 72 hours but a few hours later I got a call from them! So im not sure which call actually got me the call back haha! But the lady at the processing team was alot more helpful than the normal number, she said it doesn’t look like anyone’s asked me for further documents as of yet but its a good thing it’s actually with an examiner so should hopefully hear something soon. I really hope this is the case. But it’s definitely worth asking for a call back, you never know! Hope this helps 🙂
hs99ParticipantHi all, I recieved my call back today from the processing team and she said there’s such a backlog especially at the Durham office! Great 🙁 she said mine is actually with an examiner rather than waiting to be processed but I don’t know how true this is or whether she was just trying to get me off the phone I have no idea. I wonder why they ask for extra supporting documents for renewals if you’ve already had a passport? Before this forum I had no idea they’d ask for extra documents. I haven’t been asked to send anything ( touch wood!! ) really hoping it gets approved soon. Good luck everyone
hs99Participantlisam1988 & gracelay25 wow it took a long time for it to go to being with an examiner from you applying, have you called and asked for a call back from the processing team to answer why? I am currently awaiting a call back from them so I’ll see if they actually call… what a waste of so many weeks waiting with it not doing anything on the system? I applied 14th Feb, documents recieved 23rd Feb then processing on 24th Feb with no further updates. Mines at Durham. Hope we get some answers soon. Worriedgroom22 everyone else I’ve spoken to say the same, they won’t help until its 10 weeks from documents recieved which I don’t think is very fair either. Good luck to you all
hs99Participantlisam1988 I applied on 14th Feb, my documents was recieved on 23rd Feb and its been processing since 24th Feb. It really is frustrating 🙁 no one helps when you call either
hs99ParticipantMines been processing since 24th Feb with no further update.. every time I call they just say I have to wait the 10 weeks, so stressed 🙁
hs99ParticipantMine has been processing since 24th February! It’s really stressing me out thinking somethings wrong! Mines at Durham office
hs99ParticipantI’m super stressed too! I applied 14th Feb and mines been processing since 24th Feb with no further update.. mines at Durham. Fingers crossed
