So looks like they have sent my application to a different office. I sent it Peterborough, but now looks like it’s gone to Liverpool?

Hi, some people are getting their passports back much quicker as they are going through the automated system that a few people will qualify for. By qualify I mean for example, if an adult is renewing their British passport, there are no changes and they haven’t significantly changed since their last British passport photograph then there is no need for human intervention to view supporting documentation or raise queries and they are all processed automatically. As this is a child’s application one of my colleagues will be required to view and verify the supporting documentation. However I can appreciate it is frustrating to see tweets like that when you are waiting for yours.

If you require the supporting documents back early please email Liverpool@hmpo.gov.uk along with, the application reference, the applicant’s full name, date of birth, full address and a brief explanation. Emily

I have been keeping an eye on this forum since i submitted my daughters first passport application.

Current timeline is below. I had a moan on twitter but that hasn’t got me anywhere. Just the standard reply saying that they can’t give me a time frame as to when the application will be approved.

This is being handled by the Peterborough office.

Seems as if child first passports are being placed at the bottom in terms of priority.
