    Anyone offer any help?
    My passport was submitted in February got lost and the reference number given to HMPO 19th April, despite numerous calls and emails to say I need this passport, and a submission of evidence of fights on Friday as requested by HMPO to day track it, they have now withdrawn my application.
    I fly in 11 days. Has anyone been in this situation or can offer help of what to do?

    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    It’s actually turns out my application hasnt been withdrawn, as I called them and they said it is active. Despite me receiving an email and text this morning stating withdrawn application.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…
