Child first passport

@cswe This has been my experience so far, I think we are currently on the same time frame, because our documents were received just a day apart. Please carry on posting if anything changes, it gives me an idea on when my daughters will be here. Application being processed 12:53pm on 25 June 2020 Documents received 9:02am on 25 June 2020 Application received 11:13am on 18 June 2020 Identity details received 11:13am on 18 June 2020 Email sent to person confirming your identity 10:54am on 18 June 2020 Ask someone to confirm your identity 10:47am on 18 June 2020 Application submitted 10:47am on 18 June 2020

Just received a text, application approved. I wonder if twitter helped??

@Lynn19778 Oh wow! Well done! I bet that is a relief for you now!

Finally spoke to someone at Glasgow. My sons application hasn’t progressed because I made the application and not his mother since we are not married. Even though it is a renewal and they can see his birth cerficate from his application in 2015 they cannot accept this, so now I have to wait 3-5 working days for a letter to come to then send his full birth certificate back. My son has my name, both mum and me have passports what a absolute f’ing joke!

@Daddybear35 that's awful. That is just delaying it more. However I'm assuming once they receive documentation they will continue with approval

@lynn1978 told the guy on the phone I will be taking it to Glasgow by hand when it comes absolutely ragin

When do you go away?

@lynn1978 27th july

I think you will be fine. They will surely need to fastrack you through!

1st child passport to Durham. Application received 13th May. Docs received 22nd May. Processing 28th May. Approved today - 26th June. This was after 3 direct messages on Twitter begging for help.. hopefully passport should arrive next week so if we do have to go away, we can.

That’s brilliant news! Well done! I’ve just sent them a DM on Twitter, hoping it will help!

Hi! We applied on 12th of June for the 1st passport. On the 17th Of June they’ve received all docs and since the 18th of June application is being processed .. No news since that time

Hi @DianaL Please keep us updated with you progress and when you reach the next stage, I am 6 days behind you.

Durham received my application on June 04. I sent an online track message and was told that it is now being looked at. Has anyone experienced this message and if so does it mean it will be processed soon? Getting worried now as flying on the 1st aug. This is the first time I have taken my children away. We all have a passport now but bar one. it keeps we awake at night.

My child’s first passport has been approved today (Peterboruogh) after submitting on 31st May. I will post a full timeline when we receive it.

Can anyone share their experience l,except the new passport, how long did it take you to get supporting documents?

At an impasse with someone at the Peterborough office for my daughter's first passport application. I was born in NZ, British parents, first moved to the UK in 1986, have had British passports since I can remember. Husband was born in France. I didn't change my surname when I got married. My surname is the same on my passport as on my daughter's birth certificate. It is also the same as my parents' surname. Someone in Peterborough has decided that my passport, my birth certificate, my parents' passport details, and our son's passport details (yes, they issued a passport to our son), are not proof enough that my daughter is British so her application is on hold. To make matters worse, I've spoken with 4 different people at the passport office over the phone, and all 4 have said that my passport alone is sufficient proof, but no one will intervene and take her application from the examiner that it's sitting with. Seeing as husband is French and I'm at this impasse with HMPO, decided I'd register daughter under settled status scheme. The Home Office have refused to do so because (drum roll please).... They said she is British.

Ours sons passport has finally been approved, yesterday.

We got our passport yesterday! Wihoooo!!!
