Application received 3:30pm on 5 June 2020
Application submitted 3:30pm on 5 June 2020I sent the old passport on 5 June. Confirmed delivery by royal mail on 8 june. Took them a week to link the passport to the application!
Application submitted to Durham 03/06/20
Documents received 11/06/20 (tracked delivery indicated 05/06/20)
Application approved 11/06/20
Printed and sent 12/06/20
Passport received 15/06/20.I was wary of submitting an adult renewal application at this time after reading all the posts. However, I’m more than impressed with the turnaround in my case although obviously accept this isn’t the case for everyone. The passport received is burgundy but seems to include the additional security elements I’ve read about.
Child renewal received today (burgundy) – 31 days since application, 20 days from “application being processed”. Better than I expected, considering that some human intervention (probably all of 5 seconds’ worth) is required for child renewals.
@AndyR do you have a timeline please???
I’m feeling more positive about my application for a child renewal which I need ASAP for a holiday 19th July (hopeful!). I applied on 27th may and processing since 4th June but nothing since.

Application submitted 11:58am on 20 April 2020My online adult renewal went to Durham office
Process began 6/6. Passport received 19/6 by TNT
Old passport received today royal mail basic delivery
Was entered as a standard renewal not an urgent case
Recommend a signed for service for the following reason.
Took two weeks in total of which one week was
delayed by P O delivering and getting signature
and passport office not officially acknowledging receipt
but under current conditions no complaints.
Was kept updated by text regularly almost daily
Only text from T N T was to say my passports coming today
with a code to check tracking but didn’t bother.
Overall was exceptionally happy as i had concerns I may not get it back in time for a holiday in mid-September.
Good luck everyone and stay safe
Well done the passport office
Yes its blue the icing on the cakeHi folks,
I found this forum very useful and reassuring so I wanted to post. Needed to get my son’s passport renewed to give us every possible chance of going away this summer, but hadn’t realised how bad the delays were so I was cutting it fine – but I’ve had a great experience. Huge credit to the fab civil servants at the passport office!
I put it through (child renewal from UK) as non-urgent, and it was delivered two weeks after submitting. Arrived burgundy.

Application submitted 8 June 2020Hi Folks,
Found this website very useful. Here are my timelines – for a child renewal, using the standard service. I did ask the PO to get a signature on delivery. It took a week before they managed to link the two. Overall very happy so far and big credit to Durham.
Applied on 7th June
Document received on 9th June
Application process began on the 16th
Approval on the 24th June
Now just waiting for it to be delivered…fingers crossed (will post back when it arrives)Hi. I applied for a first child passport on 20/06. Have sent off the docs to Durham and they arrived there on 23/06 (I know because of signed delivery). That is as far as I have got. Anyone have any inkling of how long I’ll be waiting till receive the passport? I’ll keep you all updated on the progress!
Applied 14th June
Documents received 22nd June (took 8 days for them to register this) Durham.
Appoved 23rd June
Posted 24th June
Hopefully receive in next two days.We booked our holiday in January, I knew my passport expired in April but following the advice on HM Passport website I didn’t apply for renewal, didn’t think holiday would go ahead anyway at that point. When it looked like our holiday could be going ahead I applied fully expecting to not have a passport in time.
Amazed it has come through so quickly although it seems there are many not so lucky. I did a direct tweet to them asking them to confirm they had received my old passport, whuch was replied to within 24hrs – unsure if this may of helped.
Good luck to all!What office @jr234 ?
Hi, we are in a very similar boat. I’ve applied for a first time adult, my birth certificates were delivered Tuesday (also tracked) but they’re not showing in my online tracking still. I’m hopeful that will change today.

Application submitted 12:03pm on 19 June 2020@Gemski91 If the birth certificate was only delivered on Tuesday, the average time for Durham to upload your documents is 7-8 days. My documents were received last Friday and they still have not been uploaded as of yet.
