Application being processed 2nd June Documents received 27th May Application received 22nd May Application submitted 21st May 2020 My application has been sent to Peterbourgh office. I cant understand how they are prioritising these applications, when you see people who applied after you and received their passport already. We fly on the 18th July and I am getting super stressed. Today I received my second email apologising for the delay.

I posted it last Friday, it's driving me mad as the passport isn't even in the queue properly yet.

Can you track it from post office?

I popped into the post office this morning and no they can't help me. I called the passport office and they've said they arrive in batches so they don't sign each individual envelope and it's currently taking 14 working days to upload it onto the system. I just have to hope it's there and being processed. I've got 5 weeks otherwise our trip will have to be cancelled.

Nope nothing yet, starting to wonder if it's lost in the post.

My friends daughter first passport was approved yesterday so I'm assuming they are working more than 5 days per week. Hopefully they will get through the backlog
