    Hello! We are getting a child’s passport renewed and sent in both the current UK and Japanese passports to HMPO. Royal Mail and online tracking says “document received” for about a week now.

    Question is, when do they return the “supporting documents”, as we also want to renew the Japanese passport but obviously can’t if HMPO decide to sit on it.

    Hello, I am also wondering. I received the new passport 2 weeks ago but still no sign of the old documents.
    Is it normal?

    I paid the £5 for secure return of documents but I’m still waiting for the new passports to arrive. Hoping everything will be here next week. Will update when I get it. 2 weeks sounds a bit slow but hard to say with COVID.

    Still waiting for my documents to be returned but got a reply from HMPO:

    In response to the latest corona virus measures relating to social distancing and necessary travel, HM Passport Office has reduced its staffing levels to ensure that these measures are followed.

    As a result of this, HMPO is currently focused on getting new applications on to the system and have de-prioritised the return of supporting documents. However, HMPO is aiming to have any outstanding supporting documents returned in the next 2/3 weeks

    Just got our old+foreign passport back (30th Sept). Just over 2 weeks after receiving our new UK passport.
