I applied for a first time Adult passport. I received my British Citizenship in December. As it was a first time passport I wasn’t allowed to apply online so had to send it through the post, therefore I was unable to really track the progress of the application.
Sent it off on May 26. It arrived (via a tracked and signed for service) May 27th. I did not receive a text until June 12 saying they had actually received the application. We are moving out of the country at the end of July so I have been extremely anxious about my passport arriving in time for us to leave. Especially since I had to send in my original passport which I need in order to leave the Uk once we move.
I called everyday for weeks, tweeted at them constantly and basically annoyed them for weeks, mainly to just send back my supporting documents. I wrote a formal letter to the Durham office requesting my original passport back. Out of the blue I received a text two days ago saying my UK passport was complete and being posted. I received it yesterday! Still waiting on my supporting documents but hopefully those should arrive by mid next week. NO idea if my constant badgering helped my application along but I like to think it did. 😉
I sent my first time Adult passport application after naturalisation in on May 26. I received a text saying they had received it on June 12, 2020. As it was my first adult passport I was not able to do it online and had to post it in. Therefore I am unable to track it online. I have called so many times trying to get an update on where in the process it is. I have travel plans July 26 that I can not change. It is for a family situation not a holiday, however it does not qualify for the compassionate travel options that they seem to still be offering. No idea what to do!
