cmckenzie444 – our child first passport was approved 30/03 and printed late last night so fingers crossed yours will be printed real soon !
paigeadkinx – applied for childs first passport in January and was in processing from 23/02 and was approved 30/03 (Liverpool) x
It may be worth emailing your local MP to help speed things along. I did this and it seems to have worked! I applied for my daughters first child passport back in January and they only starting processing it 23/02, it had been “processing” ever since. After many calls/emails/live chats with getting absolutely nowhere (what even is the point of those?) I decided to email my local MP on Monday. He replied to me this morning at 10.55 saying happy to help and he would contact the UKVI department and at 11.42 this morning my daughters application was approved! Coincidence or not but it is definitely worth a try, good luck x

hs99 – I finally managed to get through to the customer service team who told me there is no need or point to speak to the progress team because they will just give me the same advice she is giving me now which is it can take up to 10 weeks. Really helpful! 🙄
Good luck everyone!Glad you have received yours Amy🙌 What type was yours for? I’m waiting on my child’s first passport. Docs received and starting processing 21/02 and and apparently has been with an examiner since 24/03.
Hello all, just wondering if any of you have had any luck with yours yet? I’ve applied for my daughters first child passport 26/01, docs received 21/02 and apparently is being looked at by an examiner since 24/03. Does anyone know how long this examination process can take? Need it for 4 weeks time😬
Hi, Liverpool also received my child’s documents for first child passport application on 21st Feb and still waiting for it to be processed. They told me it was being looked at by an examiner since last Thursday but could not tell me how long this will take. Also cannot get through to anyone by phone.
Wastedoranges – Yes I agree! It’s frustrating when each web chat agent gives different information too. One just told me to just wait for it to be processed and abruptly ended the chat🙄 and then another advised it was being looked at by an examiner since 24/03 so I’m thinking surely it won’t be too much longer?!
Why bother advertising these are currently taking 5 weeks when that’s not the case for each one, it’s misleading! Surely they should give everyone the 10 week timeframe!
Good luck hope you get an update soon!Hi all,
Have you had any luck with your applications yet? I too am waiting for my child’s first passport (applied 26/01, docs received 21/02 and has been “processing” ever since) need it for 4 weeks time!😫
Cannot get through to anyone by phone as lines are busy then goes dead. Live chat is no help, when you eventually get through to speak to someone they just advise current wait times!! Urghhhh! I see people who have applied after me have already received theirs so understandably I’m stressing! Good luck people!
Hello everyone, hoping someone can advise/reassure that my child’s first passport *should* be with us in time for flying on 24/04?

Ask someone to confirm your identity 5:27pm on 26 January 2022
Application submitted 5:27pm on 26 January 2022One email I’ve had back said they’re working to current waiting times (5 weeks) which clearly isn’t true so wondering what the delay is!? Cannot get through to anyone by phone it says busy so call back later then line goes dead. Live chat is literally pointless too. Not sure what to do next!
