Hello again!

I am absolutely thrilled to be able to update you with my second child’s first passport which was approved today at the Liverpool office. It was received one working day after the first one (which was at Bootle as posted above) and was approved in the exact same timescale.

My daughter’s passport is out for delivery today after being printed at 1am this morning so I am very hopeful that I will have all 4 passports in hand by the end of this week and this worrying journey will be over so that we can finally start looking forward to our holiday and everyone else who is still waiting is one application closer!

Good morning everyone!

I have a holiday booked in October this year and I booked it before I had any clue that there were even delays in getting passports. I only found out after I booked it. I’ve been watching these forums and the Twitter page like a hawk and just keeping everything crossed. I needed one standard adult renewal and two child’s firsts.

I thought I would upload my experience here as it is fairly positive. I hope it gives anyone applying in the last couple of months peace of mind that things are moving along.

First of all my partner’s standard Adult renewal which was sent to the Bootle office.

Passport printed 5.07am on 5 July 2022
Application approved 10:05am on 4 July 2022
Documents received 11:26am on 29 June 2022
Application received 12:47pm on 24 June 2022
Application submitted 7:51pm on 24 June 2022

1 week and 4 days after the online application and the passport was received the next day on the 6th of July.

Secondly my daughter’s first passport.

Application approved 10:05am on 20 July 2022
Documents received 11:26am on 24 June 2022
Application received 12:47pm on 21 June 2022

4 weeks and 2 days from the online application and I expect the passport will be printed and dispatched either today or tomorrow.

I am still waiting for my son’s first passport to be approved but this is being processed at the Liverpool office and the documents were officially received 1 working day after my daughters. I am hopeful that his application will also be approved within the next week or two.
