    Finally!!!!!! I just have to hope it’s here for Wednesday as we travel Thursday morning!!! No idea how to track it???

    I had to email in on Friday with proof of holiday being booked before Covid to get it expedited. But I did ring every day for a week and a half trying to get it escalated. Traumatic! I hope that the back logs are being cleared now and you all get your passports in time for your holidays x

    Hello there

    I wonder if there is anyone who can help. I applied for first adult passport on Jun 13th, and have been stuck on processing since Jun 22nd. I sent a dm to HM passport on 14th Jul and still awaiting a response.

    I want to go away to Germany in September (if it arrives sooner I’ll go away sooner), and as it gets closer I grow more and more anxious that my passport wont arrive in time. I know there should be an interview also.

    I haven’t booked any flights, and during this corona stuff it just sends my anxiety through the roof. Wait times seem to be going down, but still as yet my passport status hasn’t changed. My documents were sent to Newport if that helps.

    Is there anything I can do to get things moving? What can I expect to happen during this process?.. I feel so powerless and as time moves on, I’m finding it harder to deal with it.

    You have to have a interview for a first time passport without that you cannot get a passport

    Ricky they will not escalate it if you have not booked it before Covid in March as they say you shouldn’t book before you have a passport if you booked before Covid they look at it as an emergency as means you booked it’s 4-5 months which is well long enough for a passport to be sorted out

    I understand that I do have to have an interview, but are they holding them during this time? I am really starting to lose hope, people are able to travel, and I cant even get a passport. I have money to buy my ticket. Its so disheartening and making me sick with worry.
