Still waiting for mine to progress beyond “Documents Received”, but I guess that’s because I needed someone to verify my photo on my application. Like DockingPort, I only need it for ID and surprisingly, the DVLA have processed my license in 4-5 weeks, not the 6-10+ weeks, and sometimes 6+ months others have to wait. I applied for a passport out of worry after seeing the DVLA wait times, so that’s £80 for a passport I’ll never use lol.
Got an update really early morning today. Received a text at 8am saying they received my old passport. Nice to know they work on Saturdays. Judging by other applications, it should all be approved by next week.
Exactly the same for me, Loopy. They received my passport on the 1st Feb too. From what I’ve read on Twitter about Corby, it takes them 8-13 days to actually link your passport to your application (which is when you get the “Documents received” update.
From what I saw HMPO say on Twitter, once your documents are signed for, they sit around until an employee is assigned to them, which I guess happens when they are nearly finished processing their allotted applications. It only updates when your documents are linked to your application.
Thankfully I only need my passport to use as photo ID for a job since the DVLA are a complete shambles with 6 months+ waits for a provisional license. I do need my passport by 3rd March, so far I’m hopeful.
I’m still stuck on “Send your old passport”. It was signed for on Tuesday. Hopefully it all moves pretty fast next week…
I submitted my application on the 28th, so hopefully it shouldn’t take much longer for them to update with “documents received”.
