    Hiya all, I posted here before about my first adult passport. I was receiving emails about the status on it but they were completely incorrect, I had an email today saying it was waiting to be checked, I then had a call from them saying it has been printed and will be sent off tomorrow. I hope this helps some of you

    An update so applied July 9th for two renewals one for Peterborough the other is with Newport spoke to the help desk today as we are two weeks from flying nothing that can be done to escalate anything until Saturday.

    No more call backs and whilst you are on hold for longer and sometimes you have to try a few times to get in the cue for me I wanted to speak with someone rather than waiting for a call back so that suited me. Message sent via Twitter dm these folks were initially sharp to respond but now I think they are being overwhelmed with questions so I’d call and wait. Be calm have any reasons for why you didn’t renew before It got so close to flying ready because they ask.

    One is processing and one is approved interesting that Peterborough went from documents received straight to approved whilst Newport are processing.

    I’m slightly less panicked now hopefully both will be delivered later this week or early next week. Friendly on the phone and to be honest in my case we did not help ourselves with the timing of the renewals so I’ll be grateful and relieved if they come through with some time to spare.

    I spoke to the passport office today and was advised paper applications are taking around 7 weeks from when it’s scanned onto their system. I sent my kids on the 6th ( scanned onto system on the 15th) still not even being processed yet.

    3 days for us. You can track it on the tnt website, if you use your PEX number without PEX and any spaces. It will tell you the estimated delivery date
