@AngelaRayner We are missing our first family holiday in three years, seeing my elderly grandma in Spain. Flight is tomorrow am and passport for our baby hasn’t arrived. Been on hold for five hours a day for two weeks to try and resolve. Not had a single update. Distraught.
@Rachael_Catrina@HM_Passport I’ve given up. I can’t travel to during the night to Durham (where it is) to wait in a queue for half a day on a whim that it might be ready with a one year old
Less than 24 hours until we fly now and nothing. Just awful. We are devastated and have lost 4K which we can’t get back. We can’t even go and get an emergency passport as you can’t do that for a child. Why not? @HM_Passport@pritipatel@BorisJohnson
@HM_Passport@BorisJohnson@pritipatel Please tell me how to get my baby sons passport to arrive before Tuesday. Applied within time guidelines. Seeing my elderly Grandma in Spain. Hitting a brick wall at every turn & facing the devastating disappointment we won’t get to see her
@Connie_ja_jo @passportwaiting Same situation but we fly tomorrow. Said 6 weeks wait. It’s a child’s first passport and we are seeing my elderly grandma after three years. I’ve heard nothing. It’s a shambles
@Rachael_Catrina@HM_Passport It’s so confusing because the progress agents are saying I’ve been approved but no one has called from upgrade to take payment. Considering going to London office tomorrow morning
@guardian When we applied it said 6 weeks. The day after it changed to 10. Our flight is on Tues (46 hours away) and not a peep. Despite upgrade requests and assurance I’d be called and would receive the passport. We are flying to see my elderly grandma 💔
@HM_Passport I’ve been on hold five hours a day for two weeks. Passed between people who don’t want to deal with the situation. I need to travel on Tuesday to see an elderly relative. I’ve never known such awful customer service
