Apparently the Passport Office are sure it has already been printed. I’ve put the info in TNTs tracker but still showing an error message that nothing can be found.
If I’m honest, I think I’ve given up on it turning up in time. Thank god its only once every 10 years we have to go through this eh?
Observations based on my experience.
TNT collecting the passport triggers the printed update I believe – it’s pointless checking TNT until you have the printed update – it will then (hopefully) show up in the TNT tracking later that day. It originally showed a delivery date two days in advance, which I believe is the default until it progresses through their system, later that evening the delivery data changed to next day and indeed it was delivered the next day.
From approval to the passport in my hand took 10 days, including the day of approval and delivery. From what I can gather the delay now is TNT collecting them.
