We applied on 20th March for two children – both went to different offices. Today we had notification that one of the applications has been approved. It’s painfully slow isn’t it. Hoping should see some movement soon.
Apparently the marriage certificate is only required if you send the short version of the birth certificate, although I sent off the full certificates only to find out they had been logged on the system as short versions – they haven’t requested the marriage certificate so I’m hoping this isn’t the cause of delay for our children’s passports – almost at 8 weeks and have only got to ‘documents received’ stage.
Hi there, we applied on 20 March for two children and documents were confirmed received 05 & 06 April, but there has been no movement since. I sent their full birth certificates but there are noted on HNRC system as being short versions so I am hoping that this error does not cause any issues. Documents for both children went to two different offices. I was told first passports do take longer. We are almost at 8 weeks, however there was only a 5 week wait when we applied. I was also told we can possibly speed it up by paying an additional £73 per passport which I think is highly unfair given it will be because HMRC exceed there timeframes (which were increased to 10 weeks 2 weeks after we applied). Why should we be penalised for applying in plenty of time? It’s really stressful!
