Hi,

Yesterday (7th July) I have applied passport renewal for my son. They asked my his Bio-metric card(ILR) and they haven't returned back. Can anyone please tell me whether we can get Bio-metric card safely to my address?

Many Thanks,
Sreedar.

Hi Sreedar,
I had recently applied (25th July) for renewal of my passport (due to expire in next 6 months) at London Paddington VFS center and I had to provide my UK residence card as well. I got it back in 3 working days via post. Hope you have got your card by now!
Can you kindly let me know how many working days exactly did it take for you to receive your son's passport from the day of application at VFS? The website says 8-10 working days minimum for cases with no issues. Its been 12 working days for me and I am really hoping I get my passport soon because meanwhile I have a business trip come up! I emailed the passport section twice in the last 5 days and all they say is "Being Processed". No indication if they need any additional documents or tentatively when they might dispatch. Am just hoping it doesn't end up being weeks!
Looking forward from you and any other recent applicants!
Regards
H

Hi newbie84,
I received mine in 14 working days which included me chasing the hci London passport section atleast 3 times via email. Seems like they are quick but they are really bad in giving concrete info via email although they respond pretty much straight away. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hello There,

Have you received your re-issued passport and in how many working days ? Could you please provide any email id to chase as i submitted at 8th Aug @ Goswell Road vfs and today is 11th working day and i am still waiting for my passport. I need to fly on 13th sep to india from UK so i am worried now. At the time of submission, counter person informed me that it will take 13-14 working days or it may come earlier as well so i was fine to submit but no luck till yet.

Hello newbie84,

Many thanks for getting back to me. I hope you get your passport in two days. How did you get to know that you will get your passport in two days? did they update the online tracking status for you or you got the message or HCI told you via email? I have dropped mail to HCI yesterday at mentioned id and waiting for their response. I will keep updating this post so it will help other people. Thanks again.

Hi pmshra

i knew as i received email from VFS that it has been successfully processed and will be dispatched within a day :)
Yes i think its good idea to keep updating this post as i cud not find information any where else. I remember i found it very hard to find my answers.

Dear All,

Do anyone know to renew Child passport where father holds British Passport and Mother has Indian passport, do we need to provide Father foreign nationality passport along with the application?

This is because I work in Europe and travel with my passport every week so giving passport to them may not allow me from the travel

Please clarify if anyone has this situation
