Latest update on new child passport is: Passport Received
Application online 3 May 2022
Royal Mail confirmed delivery to postroom (with a signature this time) – 5 May
Documents officially received – 16th May
Passport Approved – 02nd June
Passport Printed – 06th June
Passport Dispatched – 07th June
Passport Received – 08th JuneI know some want to know when final docs you posted off get back, so will post that soon but from reading this and the threads, if you have a relatively normal application with no errors then my experience has been on the 3 passports I had to get (2 posted about here)
a. It takes about 2 weeks for them to “receive” your docs once royal mail actually say they have delivered them. Additionally, there is no guarentee “signed for” actually gets a signature (2 of mine did, one didnt).
b. For both renewals (one adult, one child) after acknowledging receipt, I had them back within a week or so.
c. See above for first child.
d. docs back seem to be unpredictable. For mine, my old passport was back very quick. For the child renewal it took about 3 weeks. For the above….we shall see.I hope this helps others.
I had been posting my updates in Liverpool thread for the two passports (one child renewal, one new) I have needed. But as my other daughters went to Bootle I will continue it here.

@holidayhopefully99 which passport office did you post it to. If Bootle or Liverpool the two sets I recently posted off were opened quicker than 19 working days between receipt and posting.
To Liverpool Royal Mail never updated with a signature. It still shows even now on their website as they wil attempt delivery today (has shown that since 21 April). Passport office did receive it though and I have received the renewal passport now too.
To Bootle they did deliver with a signature on 5th May and passport office confirmed received today.
Just to keep people updated if a renewal is going smoothly and are around the dates posted off. Updates in bold below. Ill keep this going until they both close out.
So daughter 1 child renewal to Liverpool is [now received]

@cymraeg – mine never updated for Liverpool. Just said the same thing. Based on messages here…it seems to sit in the postroom for about 2 weeks (9 working days including the day they got it and acknowledged it) – you might get something back Friday this week/early next week. Fingers crossed.
Just to keep people updated if a renewal is going smoothly. I literally cannot fault this for renewal. I have waited 3 weeks and 1 day since submitting the request for daughter 1. And from them opening the post last Wednesday – less than a week.
Anyway update below – Ill keep going on this as daughter 2’s first child passport goes through the system.

Lucyxo,
At Liverpool office both me and another user waited almost 2 weeks and then they acknowledged receipt. (it was 11 working days accounting for the bank holiday). So if it is there you sent them, there seems to be about a 2 week mailroom wait. Cant say for anywhere else.

To confirm as well my daughters is doing the same as Tamelly above. Was also approved today.
Application online – 19th April
Passport physically arrived in the post room via special delivery – 21st April
Old passport officially received – 4th May
Passport application approved – 6th MayMy other daughters first new passport was requested to Bootle this week. Posted Wednesday so I’ll update others on that too as it goes.
As if by magic…mine has just updated. Exactly the same dates as @Tamelly
Application online – 19th April
Passport “ready for delivery” from Warrington MC – 21st April
Old passport officially received – 4th MayBe interesting to see what happens for me then.
On signed for page of Royal Mail is says mine was due to be delivered on 21 April too. So will see what happens over next couple of days. Did your tracking number ever say it was actually delivered. Mine is stuck on due to be delivered today (has been since 21 april) but they told me it will have been delivered as they dont sign for hundreds of items each day.
We shall see,..
Hi all,
I could do with a bit of advice.
I posted off my daughters passport for renewal 2 weeks ago today using the Royal Mail (RM) signed for. It is now showing (and has been since Thurs 21 as “due for delivery today”. I have rung RM about this who said they dont sign for every delivery as they receive thousands and so it will have been delivered [im not so sure]
It was to the Liverpool Office and I have just had a message reminder to send documents. does anyone have any recent experience of how long it is taking them to open the post and record douments as received. They say to wait 11 working days which technically would be Friday this week with the bank holiday etc.
Any advice/recent experiences appreciated.
