How stressful? So I applied for my daughter’s renewal, went through post office as I usually do, received confirmation they had documents and then nothing. Spoke to many people who couldn’t track the application because their system didn’t recognise the PO barcode and of course I hadn’t got the application reference – never had noted it before for previous applications. Left requests for progress team to call which did happen last Thursday (16th). She is due to fly July 6th so it was tight in timing. The lady confirmed the application was due to be examined but talked through the upgrade process – which I was fully aware of via this site plus also I was planning on the 48hr pre travel drive to passport office. Then later that day a No Caller ID came up on phone and it was the person examining the passport / who confirmed all was ok and it would go to printing – to expect it within 3-5 working days. So as my daughter set off to sit her 7th A level today the passport arrived – and yes I definitely could have hugged the delivery driver. I can’t believe how stressful these weeks have been.

Over 9 weeks and counting! No passport received. Countless calls to useless call centre and email to chase. I fly in 2 days for work and still nothing!

Fairly quick given Jubilee Bank Holiday. Website slow to update receipt of old passport. No delivery info for new passport – it was just posted through the letterbox.

Please can someone help, we are due to fly on the 27th of June and we still have not received my daughters passport. It’s now been 10 weeks, I spoke with fast track last Wednesday and sent all the docs over, this has been accepted but I have not been rung for payment. I’m so stressed that we will not be able to go on our holiday, I have rang over 10 times in the last week – no one knows what they are doing!! What is best to do, go to the durham passport office on the weekend or can I go to my nearest passport office which is Portsmouth, to collect it? Do I have to book an appointment or can you just turn up? Any help would be much appreciated.

Took about 5 weeks from submitting application to getting passport. This was the Bootle office. Stressful but all in all can’t complain as I know some have been waiting longer.

Our application went to Newport office. The actual waiting time given by Passport office was up to 10 weeks but it came in just one month. Satisfied with the processing times and application process. This was quicker than if you had applied for urgent as the appointments were not even showing up for urgent application.

In the end had to pay £102 pounds to have the passport printed in Liverpool instead of Belfast so I could get it in time for our flight.
