Can someone please tell which courier HMPO use to return passport and documents these days? Thanks.

Moderators please let me know if I can use this same thread to discuss Liverpool applications or can create a new thread for Liverpool??

Thank you.

We do NOT need a new topic for each location. Bad enough trying to moderator all the topics we already have that were started about delays and biomterics!!

Sure. I understand. Just wanted to be sure that I am not tagging my question onto OP’s topic.

HMPO uses TNT for delivery passport and supporting documents.
In my case both passport and supporting documents came in the same envelope.
Certificate was in good condition(of course some creases but that would be obvious as it is going through so many hands).
No signature required they just put straight through my letter plate.

thanks CULLINAN,

yeah I considered it but it was at the end of the holiday period but might be to do with the fact that wales were affected more by the Covid so perhaps fewer people working.
Anyways since the sla is 6 weeks have to choice but to wait.
Sla is now 8 weeks

6 weeks? Or usually its 6 weeks and now longer? Majority cases only take 2 weeks these days.

https://www.gov.uk/apply-first-adult-passport
Because of coronavirus, it’s taking longer to issue first adult passports (it usually takes 6 weeks).
Well we can not travel anyways in lockdown unless exceptions so guess can wait patiently.

Thanks for the update. The Christmas timing was bad, otherwise looks like Liverpool is working fine ;)

Great. Could you please confirm in your wife’s case (liverpool), what was the Royal Mail Tracking updates/scan after Warrington MC when you sent them the documents?

Mine was due to be delivered today by Special Delievery but somehow delayed and sitting at Warrington MC.. :shock:

I had a similar issue but slightly different. I sent my documents on the 13th and they were delivered and sigbed for the next morning at 9. But nothing showed on HMPO application page. I called them today and the ladybsaid to give it some time, maybe until the end of the week. But later on I received an email confirming tge receipt of the documents. Give it a few days I'd say

Yea that is normal. HMPO updates when they open the package. HMPO collects parcels from the depot in bulk so it takes them 2-4 days to update the receipt of documents. But my package is delayed by Royal Mail.. hope it will get delivered tomorrow as it was due today....

Which location is yours??
