Passport printed and sent 8:50am on 8 February 2022
Application approved 10:05am on 7 February 2022
Documents received 11:04am on 31 January 2022
Application received 5:00pm on 19 January 2022
Application submitted 4:59pm on 19 January 2022Finally!
Agree my timeline are the same as yours but for the Corby office.
Application history:
Application approved – 10:05am on 7 February 2022
Documents received – 11:04am on 31 January 2022
Application received – 5:00pm on 19 January 2022
Application submitted – 4:59pm on 19 January 2022My main concern was the 11 days of no updates after sending my old passport, “documents received”. After that it’s approx. a week. Even then 7 days to “approve” sounds like a backlog.
I only called once yesterday perhaps that had some bearing? But I know they hate these calls!
Quick update – success!

Hey Guys!
I’m in the same situation. Sent passport on 19th Jan. Saw an update of “old passport received” after 10 days on 31st Jan, even though I sent them as recorded delivery and it was signed off on the 21st. No idea what the hell happened with the passport for 10 days? Sat on a desk somewhere?
When I applied they did stated that processing times was up to 4 weeks. So they “technically” wasted ten days of the 4 weeks to process time!
We travel on the 1st of March so if I need to fast track I have time to kick it off!
I did call the passport office. First time they were rude and hung up. Second time they promised a call back in 24hr determine where it’s at and discuss fast track option. Let’s see…
