Hi guys, we’re going to Disney on the 28th of May. Frustratingly I lost my passport on the bus and by the time they got back to me I had my passport renewal started. My passport has been processing since 7th of April and I’m starting to get really stressed out and worried. I believe my office would be London as they’re closest to me. Is there anything I can do or contact them? Or has anyone got some positive stories if they’re in the same place as me.

Hi I am in a similar position to you, I was due a renewal for my passport and when I went to do the application I couldn’t find my old passport so I cancelled it and applied for a new passport. They have been processing it since the 11th April and I am due to fly on 9th June! Can anyone help with what I can do to expedite my application??

That makes 3 of us, mines got virtually the same timeframe as yours @shan.e I fly on the 12th of May, applied for upgrade last week and still not heard a thing. I'll keep you both posted as to whether I hear anything, also going to Liverpool passport office tomorrow morning as it's only around the corner, will let you know how I get on straight after I speak to them

Yes please, good luck tomorrow! Hopefully we will all receive our passports soon.

I emailed DurhamUpgradeTeam@hmpo.gov.uk in the subject include your date of travel and the PEX number you were given In the email explain your situation and provide evidence of your flight. You need to have all your details like address/contact number/contact email. There's no guarantee and I've still not heard but it's worth a go Just remember that it can only be done 2 weeks before you fly
