Me too, so glad we sent them in when we did. Both were submitted on 19/03/23 and one was turned up yesterday with TNT and the other today by DHL. Can relax now.
Thanks – I’m hoping it won’t be too much longer (we go away in July). Adult renewals seem to be quickest, my husband got his done through the Liverpool office in less than two weeks in February. The applications do seem to be distributed randomly.
I’m not sure that’s the case. I applied both for a child renewal and a first child passport on 19/03/2023 and with both I had to send the documents to Newport which is one of the striking offices. They updated to say they had received the documents for both on 23/03/2023 but nothing since.
