Like many others here my applicant’s got stuck too. Here’s why; I hadn’t sent my original foreign passport and travel document as part of the first submission simply because they are held by the Home Office and they never returned them despite sending them letters in the past couple of months. Though, I’d included a cover letter and had explained this in my original post.

A couple of days after the tracker showed my documents were received, I got a message that my application won’t be processed until I send the original documents. I rang both the Home Office and the HM passport office and tried to get hold of someone to get some advice but it failed.

I then wrote a letter to the passport office and explained my situation and asked for an extension until the HO returns my original docs. I sent a letter to the HO as well and requested an urgent return of my documents for a uk passport app.

Funny enough, the Home Office sent my original travel document directly to the HM passport office without notifying me on the 7th March and I wondered why they didn’t do that in the first instance.

Long story short, with some delays my application got back on track on the 11th March and is still at the “Application Being Processed” stage. And here’s the full history of my app:

Application being processed 10:28am on 11 March 2022
