*Update!*
So, beginning of last week, I sent an email via the online messaging service to HMPO, referencing my PEX number. I gave our travel dates. (1st August 2020).
HMPO Liverpool phoned me back, asking me for flight evidence as my adult renewal was being processed there. It’s worth noting everyone, that where you send your expired passport to, actually bears no relevance to where the processing is being done!
I emailed and pushed a few times. The people I spoke to were all very polite and pretty understanding. I had booked travel in June – so not before lockdown. They never asked me *when* I made the booking. Only flight info.
Just now awaiting courier delivery, following yesterday’s update.
