My passport was printed today at 10:37am and I have just tried tracking it through TNT and have been able to arrange delivery for tomorrow! I have my doubts that it will be delivered tomorrow but after waiting nearly 9 weeks this is very good news!
Wise decision I think bmor84 – you might have the passport by 8th but it would be 4 days of insane stress between now and then. I am surprised it was printed so quickly after just being approved on Friday now just need to hope TNT are all over it. Though judging by what I have read on here they are a bit hit and miss!
My application was approved on Friday 1st April at 9:27 am and printed on Monday 4th April at 10:37 am. My application is coming up for 9 weeks though so it may not have gone to central printing.
Thankfully I am not travelling soon but have a US Visa application pending waiting on a copy of my passport…
Another update on my passport today
Application submitted: 3rd February
Application recieved: 3rd February
Documents received: 12th February
Application being processed: 7th March
Appliation approved: 1st April
Passport printed: 4th AprilNow just the waiting game for TNT to collect and deliver. Hoping to have my passport by Friday but that may be optimistic!
My passport was finally printed today after being approved on Friday so I will be following this thread closely. Been nearly 9 weeks since I applied.
nassao41 – when I applied it stated 3 weeks average time, mine was only just approved yesterday, 8 weeks and 1 day after I applied for a standard adult renewal. Probably another 7 to 10 days until I have the passport in hand. I was in the processing stage for 26 days in total.
If you haven’t started the applications and you can make an appointment at the passport office I’d use the online premium and/or fast track where appropriate.
There are some large delays at the moment. I applied for a standard adult renewal on 3rd February and still don’t have my passport in hand.
passport7838 – my passport was processing for 26 days before being approved yesterday. Likely another 7 to 10 days before I actually have the passport in my hand.
I submitted my application on 3rd February so it’s been over 8 weeks since I applied. They phoned me to check why I was applying for renewal early but that is the only issue I had with mine other than the ridiculous amount of time it has taken!
amirun87 – your applications have been processing for 10 days less than mine and mine was approved yesterday so you might find they get approved towards 8th April!
If you still have proof of postage from Royal Mail you can check the address it was sent to on that.
Mine was sent to Liverpool initially and was transferred to Peterborough as Liverpool was too busy.My local passport office is Glasgow so neither Liverpool or Peterborough are anywhere close!
Mine has just been approved after applying on 3rd February and spending 26 days in processing. I am hoping for a quick turnaround for printing and delivery but seems to be very hit and miss judging by the responses here!
8 weeks and 1 day after submitting my application it has finally been approved!!
Application submitted: 3rd February
Application received: 4th February
Doucments received: 15th February
Application processing: 7th March
Application approved: 1st AprilNow for printing and sending! Hoping another week and I will have the passport in hand!
Passportpanic – I am planning on phoning early next week to try to speak to the progress team to stress that if they don’t start moving my application along it will be more than 10 weeks which means they fail in their “up to 10 weeks”.
When I spoke to the general people that answer the phones I was told I my application was waiting on an examiner, that was one week ago today and was told the same thing when I phoned the week before.
I don’t have a holiday until July but I have a visa application waiting on this passport as I want to work abroad for the next couple years so this is really putting a hold on that which is beyond frustrating!
I was hoping for some movement today as it’s now been in processing for 24 days and I had seen a few others go from processing to approved around the 23/24 day mark but not to be for my application.
