Hi, I have found this forum so valuable during this whole process. After having a nightmare with an Irish application I decide to try and get a British passport for a child.
The major hold up in my application was waiting for them to receive the documents which were sent on the same day as the application was sent. I was asked to get identity confirmed twice, when I rang the passport office they wouldn’t say why so I erred on the side of caution and asked a different witness.
No tracking yet but hopefully it will arrive soon.
