Hi just wanted to post my timeline as I found this forum super useful when stressing about sons renewal application.
Application submitted 2nd June
Application was approved 19th June
Passport received 24th June.
Mine also included a delay as my husband sent my sons old passport with his adult renewal to Peterborough, when it needed to go to Durham. Incidentally we rang up the helpline to ask about what would happen with this issue and the passport was approved a few days later.
My husbands renewal was sent to Peterborough on the same day and he received his within a week.
Not sure there is any logic to processing etc….
