As promised I have come back when my process is finalised.

My passport was submitted on April 4th. Approved on April 22nd. Passport was printed on April 26th and Delivered this morning.

I know I’m a lucky one but I can’t fault the Durham Office for my process it was quick and easy.

I wish you all the best in you application – being kind to the call handlers from what I’ve seen on Facebook goes such a long way.

From what I have read your supporting documents arrive after your new passport – I think it’s anywhere up to a month after from reading Twitter.

Max, mine were sent on the 5th April, signed for just after 9am on the 6th.

I will come back to let you know when it has printed and dispatched.

Fingers crossed yours has a similar timeline!

Hi All,

Since applying for my passport (adult renewal) I have read the horror stories on here – however, thankfully I am one of the lucky ones who seems to not have to wait very long – this was from the Durham office.

Application approved 9:24pm on 22 April 2022
Documents received 3:33pm on 20 April 2022
Application received 2:16pm on 4 April 2022
Application submitted 2:16pm on 4 April 2022

From what I have read and spoken to people about it seems the trouble starts as soon as you go into the ‘application processing stage’ as that seems to mean its gone to be looked at by a person which at the minute takes a long time.

I wish you all the best in your applications and I hope you get it in time for your Holidays.
