Documents signed for 02 May 2022
Documents received 12 May 2022
Application approved 14 May 2022
Passport printed 16 May 2022
Passport delivered 19 May 2022I was super panicky due to all the articles online etc, then regretted not doing fast track immediately after posting my old passport. I requested a callback from the passport advice line (don’t try holding, callbacks are within an hour) and they said if I still hadn’t received my passport 2 weeks before my scheduled departure I could get an immediate upgrade to fast track without an interview (really handy to know!).
Also really recommend posting your old passport with signed next day delivery. Not on Friday though, it goes to a retention centre, I didn’t know what that meant so thought it was lost… turns out they just deliver on the next available day.
Good luck, this forum really helped with my stress levels during this whole process so thank you.

Application submitted 4:16pm on 23 March 2022Has anyone got any experiences in dealing with the upgrade team in Liverpool? Sent an email on Friday, I’m due to fly on 3/06 and I’m stressing about getting it upgraded to be rushed through in time.
How long does it take for them to get back to you? Should I wait for an email or phone call? Is just sending one message enough?
Thanks in advance
Generally speaking, how long is the delay between when the courier acknowledges the delivery of the documents to when it updates on the tracking site?
Because it has been over 3 weeks since my documents supposedly arrived at the Liverpool passport office
Normally it takes around 10-12 days for the passport to be acknowledged by passport agency. If you sent it on Friday then you need to add extra 2 days on top.
I think it depends on either renewal or first uk passport and also the date that you applied. You can ask for passport upgrade using the upgrade email or you can message your local MP to help you if you need it urgently.

Thought I’d Join and share…
Application approved 8:24am on 4 June 2022
Documents received 7:44am on 18 May 2022
Application received 3:09pm on 4 May 2022
Application submitted 3:09pm on 4 May 2022The application approved bit was a little strange, when I first got a text on saturday morning, it said Approved and Sent for Printing, a couple of hours later it said Currently Printing and you will be informed when ready…
I have called a couple of times and the chaps at the other end have been very understanding and pleasant, can’t fault the process really, just the squeaky bottom-ness of it all…
In a bit of a pickle at the moment, travelling on the 17th for Work, really hoping it turns up in the next day or two…
I wanted to share my experience as I was checking this forum daily. Maybe I was one of the lucky ones.
Adult renewal
I managed to get a fast track weekly appointment at Liverpool for my adult renewal. Attended on the 30th May 9.30am. Walked straight in because I had an appointment. Whole process was done in 30 mins.
The staff were amazing and very friendly. Even had a nice buzz about the place as everyone was in the same boat.
Passport arrived 5 days later!!!
Child’s 1st passport
This is the one that kept me up late worrying.
Application submitted 2nd May
Identify details received 2nd May
Application received 2nd May
Documents sent 4th May
Documents received 13th May
Application approved 31st May
Passport printed 2nd June
Passport officially in my hand 6th JuneAny tips – keep positive (if you can). Before applying online try and get a fast track appointment instead. I kept refreshing every hour for a few days! The extra cost is worth it. If you can’t don’t delay sending documents and pay for tracking.
Good luck everyone.
Hi,
I have a few questions:
1. Are Bootle & Liverpool Passport offices the same? Does anyone have the address?
2. I understand that the waiting time is from the time the application was submitted to receipt. However, I would like to know if this includes weekends and bank holidays?
3. My documents were received on 29th April and confirmed on the website. However, I received another text on 7th June saying that my documents have been received. What does it mean? The website shows it as the earlier date though.The application is for a child damaged passport replacement.
