@9984sarah I mentioned that I needed the supporting documents back for a visa application to be submitted next month, that MIGHT have made a change. I’d just make anything up that is very serious/important and see if that makes a change for you.
June 22, 2020 at 11:55 am #1212Daddybear35ParticipantGlasgow a total shambles.
Child renewal done 29th may
Document received 5th June
Processing since then.Spoke to family member who works for DWP said all passport office staff in Glasgow bar a dozen or so are moved over to process universal credit claims until 30th June.
Spoke to guy last week in Glasgow said “it should be printed any day but you shouldn’t have booked a holiday” thing was booked and paid for since February after a decent win!
Go away 5 weeks today giving up hope of going now and will have to allow the mrs and the family to go and me and my son will need to stay in the UK
June 22, 2020 at 12:36 pm #1213LeopardParticipantMy passport has just arrived through the letterbox. Progress details below, took exactly 3 months from start to finish. I chased it on 15th June and requested a call back from the progress team which I didn’t receive, but the day after the application was approved.
I didn’t get any tracking details, passport office said couriers are collecting twice per week. I didn’t see which company delivered it but it’s either TNT or DX. Haven’t received old passport yet, but assuming that will come via Royal Mail.

June 22, 2020 at 5:28 pm #1216RobynHParticipantUpdate from us. As others have suggested, we got an email today saying that my other half’s passport has been printed and is on its way – the next working day after approval. Sounds like we have been very lucky (provided it turns up!!!) Our friends (who we are supposed to be travelling with on 18th July – holiday balance due a week today) who applied maybe a week before us but for a child renewal haven’t been so lucky – theirs is still “processing”. It does just seem to be a total lottery but kids ones are taking a whole lot longer……

If you applied online dont worry because it will come, paper form applicants have applied months ago and havent been told anything whereas online applicants are getting theirs within 10 days. Its mad
June 22, 2020 at 5:47 pm #12199984SarahParticipantI applied online 4 weeks ago (on weds) and still not been approved. Applied to Durham. Think I may go mad, it’s all I can think about/ chase up as our holiday is on 19th July.
June 22, 2020 at 8:24 pm #1220Daddybear35ParticipantReally don’t know why child renewals are taking longer surely if it’s a renewal it’s a straight forward hit.
1 or both parents have passports.
Child has existing passport
Child under age 12 has had passport verified by an independent personSurely you would just get them done and out!
Total lottery. As I said in other thread apparently Glasgow will be getting their passport staff back from the DWP Universal credit processing on 1st July 2020
June 22, 2020 at 8:51 pm #1221DebsyhParticipantHow do people know which office is dealing with their application? We applied for 3 child renewals on the 24th May, have had 2 back but one still says ‘processing’. I have tried chasing as we should be flying on the 17th July, but no luck. Need to pay the balance this week and don’t know what to do. Thought maybe I could contact the office dealing with it, but can’t find that.
June 22, 2020 at 9:10 pm #1222lewis90ParticipantSo my partner applied for a passport renewal and my sons first passport through the post office . We had a text to say passports received of the 28th of may and passports being processed on the 2and of June . I have chased it up for the last 2 weeks and been on the phone the passport advice and nothing has changed. Both are in the Durham office just to add . We meet to be going away on the 11th of July and I spoke to the passport advice line again today and was basically told if your passports haven’t changed by the 1st of July then forget the holiday which is a real kicker . I’m crossing my fingers and toes it all happens last minute but I don’t no anymore. What do you think are chances are that we actually get to go ? I like to see what other people think
June 22, 2020 at 9:36 pm #1223LeopardParticipantIt should be on the email or text telling you where to send your documents. If you ring the helpline, ask for a callback for the progress team. You’re supposed to get a call within 48 hours. I didn’t get called back but the day after my passport was approved and I got it back today.
June 23, 2020 at 7:09 am #1224DebsyhParticipantThank you.
June 23, 2020 at 8:07 am #1225JaMoUsEParticipantStill waiting despite more calls and twitter interactions! Way over 100 days now 🙁
