All in all the application process is simple and effective, the only downside is why does it take 3-4 weeks to return supporting documents!

Took about 2-3 weeks for it to update to say they have recieve my old passport and supporting documents. It then took another week for it to be approved then a few days later it was printed. Then took another week for me to recieve it.

Even when the photo is rated as ‘Fair’ on the online page, it still seemed to be accepted.

While it was easy to fill out online, web update is slow, it arrived before tracking number has been issued and its wasn’t signed for even though its says it should be.

Passport received by TNT morning of 29/3/22. I hadn’t received any notice of shipping, or anything from TNT but did keep an eye on their website as had been forewarned. No tracking info was available until 28/3/22 (just error message before that) at which point I clicked on the info and it said delivery would be 30/3/22. When I checked later it was changed to 29/3/22.
I had sent old passport signed for 1st class on 15th Mar.

I was stressed as I had only left 5 weeks before travel which was my own fault! But progressed quickly with helpful updates.
Application made 8.3.22
Identity confirmed 8.3.22
Old passport received 16.3 although sent on 8.3.22 and RM tracking said received at passport office 9.3.22
Approved 19.3.22
Printed and sent to courier 28.3.22
Received 29.3.22
But another child renewal in family has taken 6 weeks so far with little progress causing lots of stress. If you are travelling in 10 weeks then fast track!
