My adult renewal, done at Durham, was applied for on 20 June, approved on Thursday 9 July, and was received today (blue).
My son’s first passport (child) was approved today at Peterborough, so should come in the next week or so. Applied at the same time.
Thankfully, we do not go away until mid-August (family wedding), but I had put off applying (when I finally realised it may actually be going ahead) due to the message on the passport office website. I was concerned if left it too late, but actually, things seem much better than they were a few weeks ago.
We did the online application with mobile phone photos with no problems.
