5 weeks doesn’t sound too bad, you should be. We are meant to be going away in 12 days now and I’m losing hope. Everything moving so slowly.
2 weeks from sending the birth certificate first class to them updating the status to documents received.
1 week to mark the Application as being processed.
10 days on and it’s still being processed. Not sure what there is to process for an infant’s first passport for so long. It should be quite quick.
