This is really strange, the helpline told me my kids passports were with the Durham office. Since then they say they were sent to Newport all along! I also notice not much discussion about Newport on this thread. Has anyone sent in child renewals and how long did they take please? My children’s renewals have been with the examiner since 21st February. My husbands passport arrived today. We travel on 8th April, so I am getting worried now.
