It arrived on the 20th 🙂
alice1995, you should definitely give the passport office a call to see what the hold-up is. You can mention you are hoping to travel soon and need the passport ASAP. They added a note to my application to escalate. I understand different passport offices have different wait times but hopefully you get yours soon!
@jonnyboyh24 I submitted mine about a week before yours (28/07/21) – it’s been approved and printed (on the same day) and is due to be delivered on 20/08/2021 according to the TNT tracking website. It went to the Peterborough office.
Adult renewal:
Passport printed and sent 1:33pm on 18 August 2021
Application approved 9:47am on 18 August 2021
Documents received 9:51am on 3 August 2021
Application received 11:06pm on 28 July 2021
Application submitted 11:05pm on 28 July 2021I called on 13/08/2021 to say that I was looking to travel on 28th of Aug, but hadn’t booked anything in case the passport wasn’t delivered on time. The, very helpful, operator said as it was an adult renewal, there’s no reason why it should take longer than three weeks. He said he’d add a note to say I am looking to travel, in case that would help speed things up (so not sure if it was a coincidence, or if it would’ve been the same timeline…).
So judging by my timeline, I guess it’s just under 3 weeks from ‘documents received’ to delivery… IF it arrives on the 20th. Will try to keep you posted.
Best of luck with yours – maybe try giving them a call if you need it soon… you’ll be on wait for a while though.
Take care,
S 🙂
