I am still waiting for my child’s renewal and can assure you it is well past the Renewal: 25.44 days avg you are publishing!!! I can’t get through to the passport office just cuts off. Not sure what else I can do!
I am too. Everytime I called I got hung up on. I managed to get through via the live chat in the end and the lady I spoke to was very helpful.
I’m on day 32 of waiting for a damaged passport to be replaced.
has it arrived yet??
Which office did you apply through? I’m at Peterborough and about the same in terms of days waiting so far
Applied online for a first adult passport (previously held child’s) on 23 April. Received new passport today 18 days later. Am in shock tbh!
Did you get online updates before it arrived? Or did it just turn up?
Had text messages at each step. They approved the passport on 9/5 so we were very surprised when it arrived this morning. You can also track progress through passport website.
Is this service reporting calendar days or business days?
It is calendar days.
