Liverpool

Hi am I crazy to think I'll have my first adult passport in time for a trip abroad on November 17? Was under the impression based on an FB group I'm in for new British citizens that it takes 3-4 weeks based on timelines people were giving. I submitted my application on October 4, sent documents on October 6 and got notification that the documents were received October 13. I sent a message on HM Passport twitter account asking about processing times and they said average for first adult passport is 7 weeks but can take up to 10! Am I totally screwed?? Please give me some hope - sent documents to office in Bootle.

Hi Caroline, did you have to send in any other supporting documents namely birth certificates as this is what I’ve been hearing?? I hope they don’t ask that. Sent off to bootle

Kazii321 No, I didn’t able to send any supporting info such as birth certificates etc. However, as they were child renewals I’d already had to send a birth certificate with their first passport - so presumably they still have this on file? In a positive, both Durham and Liverpool seem to be working on the same 20 day turnaround from documents received. Hope you get it back in time...

Caroline, what was the number that helped you please? We are in the same situation.

0300 123 1973

What is the number please as I cannot see it? TIA x

Bootle: From documents received to approval it was 2 weeks. From application submitted it was 3 weeks. They have printed it out and now sending it hopefully this week!

Anyone waiting on a Adult passport renewal from Bootle? Wondering what dates they are working off at the minute thanks

@william452 Yes I submitted mine on the 4th November and had it by the 27th November if you have completed it online you will be in a digital que so you are looking around 24 days to receive your new passport. It was approved on the 24th and sent the next day.

Anyone have any updates when they got their passport? put my application in on 12/01/2022 docs received 19/01/2022 and waiting for next update. Still early on but feeling super anxious about it getting back in time for holiday on 31st March

I applied for my adult renewal on the 4th January, with a name change,it was back within 22 days, would have been five days sooner but I had to resubmit my photo a couple of times

Anyone know how long Liverpool are taking to upload the documents so you know they have received them? I sent some, and the post office delivered them last Tuesday,but passport office haven't concerned they have received them yet?

Passport approved 09/02/22 - any ideas how long it will be until it is sent out to me? I know we have next day delivery on it and it said it was being printed yesterday but i am wondering if i will make a flight which is in a few days time?? TIA

Mine was exactly a week from when royal mail got a signature on delivery until the passport office acknowledged it on tracking. And then another week until it was approved. Now awaiting despatch!

I've done 4 passports recently. All 4 were either dispatched same day as approved, or the next working day. Then they were delivered the day after that.

Anyone know how long a first time adult application is taking as I am going away to America on the 10th April i applied on the 3rd December but wasn’t able to send my documents off until the end of January. currently it’s like this Application submitted on the 3rd December 2021 Documents received on 6 February 2022 at 12.34 Application processing on 8 February 2022 at 12.41

My passport renewal journey has come to an end. Here is my timeline: Application submitted 26/01/2022 Passport sent. 27/01/2022 Royal Mail showing as delivered 28/01/2022 Update documents received. 06/02/2022 Application approved 12/02/2022 Passport sent 14/02/2022 Tracking available TNT. 16/02/2022 Old passport received Royal Mail 17/02/2022 New passport received TNT. 17/02/2022 All in all, it was pretty painless.

Does anyone know how long it takes for Liverpool office to upload supporting documents? Royal Mail confirmed delivery on 1 February and the documents are still not showing on my application.
