That might make sense my husbands never went to the processing stage it was a straight forward renewal. Mine was to replace a damaged one. Although still what’s the problem look at the damage the same as you look at the outdated passport. Mines only just gone to the processing stage I hope it’s not stuck there for another 4-5 weeks.
So far the daughters has been there since the 13th April, does anyone have any idea how long its currently taking once at processing. We still 6 and a bit weeks before we are meant to fly.
@dan9294 when did yours go to processing?Mine only went to processing yesterday, after 4 weeks. I submitted my application on the 10th April. Our holiday date is similar we go 25th June. My friends sons is still in the processing stage 4 weeks later too. 3 of my family members have taken 2 weeks and 5 weeks. I’ve got everything crossed. I’ll keep updating when and if I hear back. @ronyal surely yours should be any time it’s been 7 weeks.
I posted both my children’s old passports Special Delivery on the 5th May. My son’s went to Bootle and my daughter’s to Corby.
My son’s:

Application submitted 7:05pm on 4 May 2022My daughter’s is still showing as send passport. I called RM on the morning of the 9th May as neither passport was showing as delivered despite being sent special delivery and was told that they will have arrived but the offices are not scanning.
Even now they are not showing as delivered on RM tracking.
Not sure how long I should leave it before contacting someone about my daughter’s. I mean it might have been lost, but then it might not.
Ill update here as and when there is any movement on the application. Fingers crossed it gets approved soon.
@shaz79 mine didn’t show as being received on the passport site until about a week after and that was at the start of April. I sent an online form off about 2 weeks ago and I’m still waiting for a reply.@Shaz79 I am in the exact same position as you. Two renewals sent on 5th May, one to Bootle which was notified as printed yesterday and one to Corby which Royal Mail is still showing as in transit even though sent Special Delivery on the 5th.
Apparently this is common for Corby as they bulk deliver every day but don’t always confirm as delivered. Just have to wait the 2-3 weeks for it to be marked as documents received on the passport tracker.@Ronyal – no, still nothing. I sent in the online query form but haven’t heard anything yet.
Just wanted to offer a bit of hope in there stressful times. I couldn’t get a fast track so submitted an online application on 28Apr. Then:
29Apr sent passport to Corby
10May passport marked received
12May application approved
13May passport printedIt’s an online adult renewal so I guess the fastest type of application (no counter-signature needed etc) plus I did use a digital photo booth to avoid issues with the picture. But it’s looking like max three weeks in total with a bank holiday in the middle.
Hope this helps for anyone making a decision about what to do. Good luck all.

@TonyC Just got the text message that my daughter’s passport has been received. Hopefully it doesn’t take them just as long to process the application now.
@Shaz79 Thats great news, I’ve just checked and my son’s renewal has also just been marked as documents received. They must be processing today all post received on 6th May.
I’m expecting it to be quick now and the new passport to be delivered in about a week as that seems to be others timelines.I made my application online 9 May 2022 posted old passport special delivery to be signed for to CORBY. It arrived but the person signing for delivery did not want to be known it looked like art painting on the pyramids so whether that would stack up in a court of law who knows?
I did however email them to let them know that i knew they had received it but its as someone else has said no one is bothered to scan them in therefore there is probably a big pile stuck somewhere.
