This fills me with massive hope I applied for my sons first passport the 23rd June and we have been on documents received since the 29th June! We haven’t booked a holiday due to the passport backlog and we still dare not until his application is approved.
My daughters renewal was also applied for on the 23rd June and we received that in 11 days.
I joined this forum so I could get help if I needed it if i do end up surpassing the 10 week mark!
