My onlime adult renewal went to Durham office

Process began 6/6. Passport delivered 19/6 by TNT
Old passport received today via royal mail basic delivery
Was entered as a standard renewal not an urgent case
Recommend a signed for service for the following reason.
Took two weeks in total of which one week was
delayed by P O delivering and getting signature
and passport office not officially acknowledging receipt
but under current conditions no complaints.
Was kept updated by text regularly almost daily
Only text from T N T was that your passports coming today
with a code to check tracking but didn’t bother.
Overall was exceptionally happy as i had concerns I may not get it back in time for a booked holiday in mid-Sept
Good luck everyone and stay safe
Well done the passport office
It’s a blue passport the icing on the cake

Applied online
for an adult renewal on sat 6th June
Application acknowledged immediately
Posted passport to DURHAM mon 8th june
Was signed for 9am on tues 9th Jun
Sent recorded delivery not
the £6 express delivery.
The passport office have
not acknowledged receipt yet
I’m not concerned as i got plenty of time till
Holiday booked in September
just wondered if I needed to keep checking online
or when reciept gets acknowledged will they update me by
text e-mail etc.
Also do they update me every time it moves to the next stage or do I have to look.
Got to say some of the turnaround times here are a lot
quicker than I expected in these awful times
It does seem like straightforward renewals get through
quicker than the more complicated ones.
This is a great site and I started out this morning
wondering if my holiday would happen but now I’m fairly sure barring a picture rejection ( which seems rare )
or some other hiccup it shouldn’t be the passport that
throws a spanner in the works fingers crossed.
Will update progress once passport receipts acknowledged by Durham office

Thanks for all the info everyone keep safe roger
