lauraf1991 – literally the same. Just had the old passport and photocopy of my passport back but still no new passport despite them having sent it on Monday morning apparently? I’ve never known the documents be returned before the new passport gets delivered!
leahmca – that’s my biggest concern right now. 2 of our applications haven’t even gone to processing yet, and we travel 6 weeks today! What if the time goes up again does our wait get longer? Does it stay as it is and the wait only applies to new applications?
I wish they would be more clear on timescales and where in the system applications are. Our other 2 have been in processing 22 days now and aren’t even with an examiner. Mental!
Jespop30 – they said there was an inconsistency 🤷 I probably put a wrong number or something 🤦 it was the Liverpool address but it had ‘Doc’ in it. So it probably flags as an extra document rather then the standard birth certificate or passport?
I’ve just rang, and they’ve said the two renewals aren’t even with an examiner yet but it should be really soon because we’re 5 weeks on Saturday. She did say the 5 weeks aren’t processing times but time from application received which was a a slight relief but the usual ‘we are really busy, busier then ever before’ was said multiple times.
Jespop – He was marked documents received on the 16th after being sent on the 5th, then I got the message on the 26th that they needed a copy of my passport before they printed but his status didn’t change. Sent that and that was received on the 3rd and then approved on the 5th. So I think they just needed to double check before approving. But there was never a status change from documents received which is odd really because they were clearly processing it 🤣
Jespop30 – Thank you! Royal mail said they’d recieved it on the Thursday lunchtime and it was approved 7am on Saturday morning. So very quick!
Jespop30 – do you know the best number to ring? We had one go from documents received to approved – that’s on it’s way now and that was with having to send a copy of my passport to as additional information! I don’t understand why they’re not done on order of received.
We are 21 days processing for 2 child renewals. Child first passport was marked as documents received yesterday and the other child first passport is still waiting for documents. We travel 6 weeks tomorrow. I’m ringing today, but I’m so upset over it. When we first applied it was 3 weeks for them all and now it’s 5 weeks!
2.5 months should have been enough time 😭
We have had some progress. 1 of the 5 is now being printed! Still 2 that have been in processing since Feb 16th, hoping to hear about them this week? The other 2 still haven’t made any progress.
I remember doing my passport back in 2012, paper form and it was done and back within 12 days! How times have changed.
Hello, I’ve been watching this forum the last few days. We travel April 21st and I’m starting to worry.
3 child renewals – so far it’s been 3 weeks – 2 weeks processing.
2 child first passports – so far 2 weeks – not even in processing yet.My nephew’s was done the same day as the renewals and he has his. Same office!
Trying to put it all to the back of my mind til the end of March, but are there any options for if things don’t go smoothly? Could we fast track an application that’s already been started?
Thanks in advance!
