Hi,

Below my final timeline. It was a standard adult renewal sent to Liverpool – I live in Germany.

New passport received on 18 May 2020.
Old passport received on 15 May 2020.
Passport printed and sent on 13 May 2020
Application approved on 12 May 2020
Application being processed on 18 March 2020
Documents received on 17 March 2020
Application received on 11 March 2020
Application submitted on 11 March 2020

The bad news is that it’s taken a very long time. The good news is that, once the magic “application approved” message is received, both new and old passports were back within a week.

All the best and hope you all receive some good news soon.

Hi,

Below an update to my timeline. It’s a standard adult renewal sent to Liverpool – I live in Germany.

Interestingly yesterday evening I received a second email from DHL with another shipment number, so I didn’t know which passport was supposed to be arriving today. Turns out it was the old one but with the second tracking number I got, I can already see that the new passport is well on its way. It’ll arrive tomorrow or Monday, I guess.

@Kaystar89: the forms changed during my application, too. They didn’t contact me saying I needed to redo anything but I don’t know if that delayed the application internally somehow.

Old passport received on 15 May 2020.
Passport printed and sent 2:47pm on 13 May 2020
Application approved 11:57am on 12 May 2020
Application being processed 8:31am on 18 March 2020
Documents received 3:45pm on 17 March 2020
Application received 1:01pm on 11 March 2020
Application submitted 1:01pm on 11 March 2020

Will notify when it arrives.

Best,
Robert

Hi everyone,

Hopefully I can bring some good news to those of us applying from abroad!

I live in Germany and applied for a standard adult renewal around two months ago. The application has literally just been approved (see timeline below) although I don’t have any information on when they’re expecting to send it (any ideas, anyone?).

I’ll update on this page every time I get new information but it seems like things are moving, albeit slowly as previous posts have pointed out.

Best,
Robert
