Passport withdrawn

Is going to a passport office an option for you? I'm not sure there'll be any way to get a passport in 10 days without going to one of their offices.

Boblee4 yes this is a option, and willing to do so, but at the risk of being turned away. I don't have everyday free to do so. It's still an hour and half drive one way. Does it actually work?

I'm really sorry but I don't know for definite. I have picked up a little knowledge just from reading threads on here. A recent story was someone turned up without an appointment at their local passport office and had a passport by the afternoon - but I think they already had an application sitting idle at another office (not cancelled like yours). Perhaps you would need to book a premium 1 day or fast track 1 week appointment - @ukpassportcheck on twitter is a good place to keep an eye on for guidance on getting an appointment. Sorry I can't be of more help.

It's actually turns out my application hasnt been withdrawn, as I called them and they said it is active. Despite me receiving an email and text this morning stating withdrawn application. Totally in the dark now 😭

@snoopy55 I'm not sure I'd rely on either piece of information as factual - they are so overrun I don't think they know. I could speak to two different people within an hour of each other and they'd both say my application is at different stages (confirmed by doing this multiple times a day for the last week) Keep pestering I think...
