    My daughter’s was signed for on 24th June and they acknowledged on 26th June. It was approved on 1st July so didn’t take long at all. There doesn’t seem to be any logic on the order of processing applications?

    So I finally received my sons passport after so much anxiety the past couple of weeks. I sent the old one to Peterborough as requested and they then sent it to Newport to process, this is normal if a passport office has less staff etc.
    I chased 3/4 times on twitter, called about 4 times to the same response. I then emailed our MP last Friday and got a response within the hour to say they will look into it and even got a nice formal letter on the action taken.
    Monday I called and asked to be put through to the complaint department and was put through to a lovely lady who said she can see my date of travel and she will send a message to the Newport office to explain of the urgency and how anxious I am. An hour or so later I received the approved message! I don’t know if it was coincidence, my call, the MP, twitter message but I was so relieved!

    How long did it take for you all to get a response on twitter? I presume you sent a DM?

    I’ve chased on Twitter twice and now had the email to say don’t contact again. We don’t go away till 1.08 but seen some children passports taking over 2 month. Glasgow seems the fastest but that was adult.

    Update to where I am.

    Royal Mail delivered the old passport on Monday 29th June. I called the Passport Office on Friday and I got a call back yesterday. They told me the mail room was taking 2 weeks to process and put old documents onto the system.Couldn’t in any way put a note on our application of travel date the only way to speed anything up was if your travel is for an emergency or bereavement. They didn’t even ask for my reference number so I think these are just how it is at the moment. Also DM on twitter Friday but no reply. All hope lost, travel plans are looking likely to be cancelled.

    Then had an email this morning saying they have recieved old documents. That was 6 days after receiving them. So I am now a little more hopeful of making it on 1st Aug. The roller coaster ride that is passport applications.

    Does anyone know if the passport process passports through the weekend to? We applied 4th July and will send old passport first thing tomorrow morning. Been asked to send old passport to Durham office. We’re due to go on holiday 9th August.

    I got a text yesterday to say ours has been approved. I didn’t get a reply to my DM on twitter, and I don’t know if it was coincidence that it was approved 48hrs after I contacted them. Fingers crossed it arrives this week.

    Me and 2 friends all sent off for passports and children’s passports at the same time, 7 passports in total, 2 is first child, the rest is renewals. We have had all back including a child’s first passport in 5 weeks except the 3 that were sent to Peterborough and took 3 weeks to even hit processing stage… still we wait

    yasminrita it’s taken 2 odd weeks to even confirm they have received old ones August will be a bit tight by the looks of it especially if you not sent old ones off yet I sent mine off nearly 2 weeks ago and not even say they got them yet
