Kids renewal… 27days, is this from when the documents are received and processing
I’m not sure, but we have been waiting for 9.5 weeks since the date we submitted my daughter’s application and we are still waiting. I am getting very worried.
It is from application submitted until passport received.
Is this tracked in days of the week or in working days? Eg 58 week days or working days?
I sent my daughter’s renewal in May 3rd via post office checking system – got a text from passports to say received and being processed on 13th May. She will turn 18 this year and it’s a renewal application Do I take your day count as working days or the 7 day week? I’ve emailed the Govt site using the barcode the post office gave me but no response as yet.
Is it only me, or these waiting times don’t make sense? so the articles about 10wk waiting times is just sensational information? My case is, applied on 03/05/22 on line, after a month they needed the naturalisation certificate that was not on the documents list requested at the time of application. Why?
What options does one have if a lost/stolen passport application has been submitted online, to speed up the process? Is there a way of paying to fast track the service?
I’d be interested to know this too.
I’ve been told that you can request it to be upgraded 14days prior to a flight (need to show proof of flight booking?). I did this 10days ago, due to fly this Sat and still nothing from them!
Did you get sorted?
