We’re in the same boat…
child’s renewal online
Application received 16th Sept
Identity confirmation received 16th Sept
Documents received 23rd Sept (Bootle)
Our passport is then going to the Liverpool office to be examined. I was told within 20 days of Opening Document (23rd Sept)
Due to travel early on the 24th Oct 🤞🏻
We are now just playing the waiting game which is incredibly stressful. Wish we’d fast tracked (I do it for Thorpe flipping Park but not for this…) but to be fair I was given the wrong info by the passport office who said I could get the old passport back if I hadn’t heard anything by 11th Oct but the another chap at the passport office said it could take a further two weeks to do that, then get an in person appointment and then a further weeks wait which is too long and still as risky as leaving it in the system.
Good luck! Do let us know of your progress.
