To Simonj61. Received the passport at last, two days short of fourteen weeks.
Your application was a few days after mine so hopefully you’ll get yours soon.
Just think though, we won’t have to apply for another ten years!!!Hi, to give you a bit of hope, I had a message today that my passport had been approved!! Exactly thirteen weeks!
Now to see how long it’ll take to reach me. Will let you know.
Hope yours comes soon.Hi, don’t worry you’re not alone I’m still waiting!
I applied June 6th and still nothing,it’ll be 13weeks on Monday.
I’ve emailed, phoned and online chat, nothing!
The most annoying and unfair thing is that people are getting theirs in a few weeks but us who are still waiting seem to have been forgotten, applications getting pushed further and further down the pile.
Total incompetence!Hi, I’m really glad for you.
Just odd that you applied after my husband and his still says ‘when finished checking, we’ll update this page’ dated 24th June.
Can I ask which passport office you sent your application to?
Here’s hoping it arrives soon, good luckHi, my husband is still waiting for his overseas passport renewal to arrive he applied 3 days before you on the 7th June.
I had been told this about escalating the passport by numerous people on the help phone line but have since found out that they will not fast track or escalate passports for overseas, sorry. He had been promised to have it escalated before we were due to go away yesterday but still no passport so we had to delay for two weeks. If you need it for identification to drive it might be different but who knows!
At the beginning of this week we decided we didn’t want to take the chance and the passport wouldn’t come by 31st, the stress is huge.So after contacting the Foreign and Commonwealth by email and phone we decided to pay to get an emergency passport, I’m cross we had to pay £100 plus courier fee but it is an important family trip. Anyway I filled in the emergency travel form on Wednesday night, even got some advice filling in in from the foreign and commonwealth office whilst doing it.
It was accepted Thursday morning and arrived by courier on Friday, strangely printed and sent from Spain to France. Wish they were as quick with the actual passport!
It’s sods law he’ll hear back next week about his actual passport but at least we know we can travel.
Will get back to let you know .
