Here’s our timeline for our child’s first passport.
We applied online and documents sent to Bootle. We had also submitted a request to upgrade 14days prior to travel but was never called back.
The upgrade request was sent to the London office as that’s our closest. Perhaps a coincidence, but the application was approved last Friday 13th which may be why we didn’t get called. We travel this Sunday 21st May. The passport was posted by DHL this morning. Best of luck to everyone!

Application submitted 11:31pm on 9 April 2022Hi all
Been following various threads on this forum for a couple of weeks.
Here’s my timeline for baby’s first passport which we applied for online and documents sent to Bootle. We live in London. We travel on 21/5/22 and requested an upgrade exactly 14days before – email sent to the London team as that’s my closest office. Didn’t hear anything and emailed again last Wednesday on advice of the progress team. Once again didn’t receive a call back but the status changed to approved last Friday so not sure whether the request sped up the process.
Passport was delivered this morning by DHL (not TNT) – 2 working days from being printed. I actually only received the tracking text 1hr before it was posted. I wasn’t at home but they still posted through the letterbox.
