Replacement of lost passport

[Redpizzi]

I applied for my Lost Expired replacement passport on the 31st of March.
Application said 6 to 8 weeks

Had a phone call from the passport office on the 14th April to confirm the lost passport had been complete and details passed to the replacement team.

Heard nothing since.

I fly 24th June. So not panicking too much yet. But it’s nearly squeak bum time.

Update.
Called the phone number and he said everything looks OK and I should receive the passport before 16th June.

He said if I haven’t heard anything on the 10th June then to ring back and we can look into applying for a fast track.

Hi All,

Use the webchat service! my application moved from ‘identity details received’ to ‘processing’ the same day.

Also, on the webchat ask them which office your application has been assigned to, mine is current at Peterborough.

If it gets to 2 weeks before you fly and it has not been approved or sent call them and request to upgrade to fast track or premium (fast track £67, premium £102).

I’m hoping mine is not stuck in processing for too long. :/

Best wishes,

Rosina

Thank you for this information
I rang the help line on friday since my application has been in Processing since April 7th.
They said I should get my passport by June 10th. If not ring up and sort a collection.
