My adult renewal and two first time children went in on the 18th March to processing, but updated on the tracking to say they went in on the 29th, my application was approved at 9pm on Thursday and 20 minutes later they rejected photo on one of the children applications and then didn’t do anything with the second one, so I’m hoping after the Easter weekend they are approved
Max1978: That’s similar to mine, a renewal with name change, I was told it went into processing on the 18th March but didn’t update on my online tracking till the 29th. They told me the examiner had it from Monday 11th, hopefully we should hear at similar times
It’s seems mine is a renewal after speaking to the passport office because I have already held a UK passport, so glad my application is right! How long has everyone been in the processing stage for, i was told it was with the examiner on Monday
I’ve submitted an adult passport online application after my child passport, is this a first time adult passport? I’ve not being asked to have someone confirm my identity, I’m worried there’s going to be a problem with my application now and hold it up, I’m already on week 7 and it’s been with the examiner since Monday
Thank you, you too! I hope it updates, if it’s with the examiner already then hopefully not much longer. Mines not gone with the examiner yet so hoping that happens soon.
She said the timeframe for processing at the moment is 4/5 weeks so I’m assuming that is the same for all applications. That’s the way it sounded. She said my three are waiting to be seen by examiner but all my documents were linked three week ago on Friday coming so I’m hoping it’s not too much longer for mine. She said if it’s not updated for my 3 by the 22nd I need to ring back.
She said when it goes down that route they stop updating the online tracking until approval as well. Not sure how accurate that is though.
If it’s been with the examiners since the 17th I would speak to them again and ask for updated info cause mine hasn’t been to the examiner yet and I’ve been told another 2 week and if I haven’t heard anything ring back.
I rang this number today 0300 123 1973. I was on hold for 1hr 45 before anyone answered and she told me that the application being processed stage is roughly 4/5 weeks at the moment and they stop updating the online tracking. She said this had happened with mine because I had documents that needed to be linked to other applications but they have linked 2 weeks ago so as long as everything is okay my applications should be approved by the 22nd of April, if not I need to ring back. She was able to tell me that it hasn’t gone to the examiner yet but will update when it does. She was able to tell me lots more than the normal helpline and assured me that the passport should be with me before we fly on the 8th of May.
It’s so annoying! I don’t understand how it’s taking so long to print a passport. They have all my documents, when I applied it was 3/4 weeks for printing we are going into week 6.
Gracelay25 that’s so long, how does it take that long to process! I’ve been told so many different things, someone told me processing is the step before printing and my documents and photos are all okay cause I would have heard by now if there was an issue and it shouldn’t take too long. And then another advisor told me I could be waiting 7 week.
Leahmca how annoying! I’m glad you was able to reschedule, I’m hoping it’s not the same, we are due to fly 5 week today. I sent off in feb too, I’ve had one first time child passport done and due to be delivered tomorrow from Peterborough and mine and 2 other first time child passports are at Liverpool stuck on the processing bit.
Oh gosh, that’s a long time! I’m hoping it’s not that long we fly in 5 week, I sent applications off with just over 10 weeks to holiday.
How long did everyone spend in the processing stage? My last update was application being processed on the 29th March.
I hoping to receive passports by the 6th May as we fly on the 8th.So I sent 4 passport applications off, three children’s first passport and 1 adult renewal: 1 application for first child passport went to Peterborough and has been printed on Tuesday (no other update) and the 3 others went to Liverpool-

Application history
Application being processed: 12:37pm on 29 March 2022
Documents received: 2:01pm on 23 March 2022
Application received: 11:20am on 28 February 2022How long am I going to be waiting in the processed bit? I didn’t get an update as usual to say it’s being processed, I checked today and seen that it had that on there! I rang as the application from Peterborough didn’t have that stage and she’s said that everything’s okay if the photos were to be rejected and documents missing I would have being told by now so it’s just the step before printing, is this right?
