Hi, just wanted to give some hope to those scared of applying because of the delays! This was an adult renewal.

I couldn’t get a fast track apt so chanced my luck and applied the standard way online, took a photo on my iphone. I travel on 25th June. I got immediate text updates at every stage.

Timeline:

Applied online 26/04/22 11:12
Posted old passport (tracked & signed for next day delivery) 26/04/22 11:56
Passport office received old passport 29/04/22 16:04 (although someone signed for it on 27/04/22)
Text saying passport application on hold as they needed someone to confirm my identity 04/05/22 08:42
I asked someone to confirm which they did at 09:12
Application approved at 09:19
Passport printed 05/05/22 08:11

Hopefully get it in the next few days.
