@cdmachuk @Oh_er_missus @passportwaiting I paid extra for the return service. I wasn’t notified of the dispatch but only noticed a separate consignment on the tnt tracker marked support documents. They were dispatched a day after the passport.
@DesaiNeetesh@passportwaiting I only found out because I found a tracking reference on the TNT tracker for it referenced as supporting documents separate from the passport reference which appeared 24hrs after my passport one.
@DesaiNeetesh@passportwaiting I was told that they should be sent out at the same time as your new passport but can take 2-3 weeks. I’m waiting the return of another passport which I paid the £5 extra for secure return. It is due to arrive today a week after my renewal was issued.
@BazzGH@passportwaiting Not during the process no, but I had to send in an Australian passport when sending in original documents so maybe it followed a different process than normal.
@daneshaw8@passportwaiting Originally to Bootle but I don’t recognise the pattern compared to other applications so wondering if it was sent elsewhere.
@FelicitySchull1@passportwaiting When I spoke to someone from Newport I was told that you loose your money if you withdraw your application, so something to consider too.
@merlie01@passportwaiting There appears to be 2 processing systems. The old one goes from docs received to application being processed and takes significantly longer than the new system that goes from docs received straight to application approved in about 3-4 weeks.
@passportwaiting Bit ugghhhh today! Seems like I didn’t win the lottery and got the old system. Need to fly on 3rd October but seems unlikely now. This is a Bootle adult renewal.
@DMTaylor90 I was even older than that when I told my folks eventually. (even though friends and colleagues knew already) Wish I’d done it earlier but hey ho. Congrats! It’s a weight off your shoulders.
Most of last night's storm activity passed over in the east and then around to the north of the house but the second big cell came close enough to get a couple of quite cool shots. It was quite a light show though with continuous flashes for a few hours out in the distance.
