Participantahh okay! Hopefully yours gets updated tomorrow or Monday!
What passport office are you with?
I guess I’m hoping that they might be processing it without updating the system but I’m not sure how convinced I am that it’s very well organised at Peterborough passport office 🤦🏼♀️March 13, 2022 at 9:52 am #9578rayray777

ParticipantSame timeline as you @lk89. Documents received on 2nd March and no update since for mrs application.

ParticipantJust had an update today.
So my timeline is now this:
Documents received 8:06am on 15 March
Application received 4:32pm on 22 Feb
Identity details received 4:31pm on 22 Feb
Email sent to person confirming your identity 3:55pm on 22 Feb
Ask someone to confirm your identity 3:52pm on 22 Feb
Application submitted 3:52pm on 22 FebIt’s taken 14 working days for them to update the application to say they have received the documents. I’m less worried now though.
Does anyone have an idea of how long it takes to approve the passport from this stage?March 15, 2022 at 8:50 am #9709sarahf1
ParticipantMine took another week after that stage to say application processing and it’s been at that stage for another week so far

ParticipantThanks, everyone, for the updates. nassao41, I’m a few days behind you, as Royal Mail delivered my documents on 1 March. I guess I’ll wait a few more days to see if my status changes.
I’m still trying to figure out with certainty whether I can travel on my EU identity card + settled status. I know I can get to the EU, but will have issues at the UK border or with airlines? The settled status was linked to my passport. I uploaded my ID card to the online system, but it’s in a manual review process as it’s an old-style one without a machine readable zone.
If I get confirmation that the ID card has been linked to my settled status, I’ll travel. If not, I guess I’ll cancel or try to get an emergency travel document?
I would greatly appreciate any advice from EU nationals who have travelled on identity cards post-October 2021!

ParticipantSo I’ve had a “we’ve received your documents ” text today.
Which was 15 days (not working days) after they received them.
I feel a bit better now they are on the system.
