Hi all,

I’ve found this forum incredibly helpful so thought I would share my passport timeline which was for a child’s first passport (baby) and it was processed at the Bootle office.

I submitted the application on 10 May and got my hands on the passport on 11 July.

From Documents Received to Application Approved seemed in line with what the timelines have been. I was actually expecting it to be approved mid-July so it was approved a little earlier than I thought.

The only hiccup was receiving the passport from TNT. They text me at around 8am on Tuesday 5 July to say my passport would be delivered by 8pm that day. It never arrived so I had to reschedule it for Monday 11 July which was the earliest day I could guarantee someone would be home to take delivery. It did arrive on that rescheduled day mid-morning but I didn’t need to sign, it was just posted through the letter box.

Quite a relief that it’s all sorted; having read some of the headlines and unfortunate experiences of some on here who submitted their applications months ago I had moments where I feared the worst. Now we’re all set for our family holiday in mid-August!

Best of luck to everyone else with their applications.
