Congrats. May I ask if it was just you applying or did you have more family members applying with you?

I don’t understand why our application is taking ages especially it’s a renewal and not first time TD

Hello everyone

Is there any updates on CTD TIME FRAME
or anyone received recently

It's been 3 months since I have applied but no response I have emailed them and I got this reply

Good Afternoon,



Thank you for your email. Your application has not yet been considered. The Travel Documents Section are currently dealing with applications made in date order. There may be some cases where applications standard checks and enquiries we make take longer to complete.



We would urge you to follow government guidelines https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus and also request that you do not contact us for progress during this exceptional time. Extra correspondence will further delay processing of applications with the limited resources we have on site.

We understand that you have an urgent need for consideration for a travel document. However, we have a higher demand than usual in the unprecedented times.



Please bear with us and we will endeavour to get your Travel Document to you as soon as we can.


Could please someone explain what's happening atm

Thank you everyone.

Hello everyone,

I have a friend who applied for CTD in Nov 2020. In June 2021 they received an email saying application was successful, then the CTD arrived after 2 days. However, the day after the caseworker contacted them saying there is an error with their CTD (which my friend couldn't identify as all data seemed correct). The caseworker asked them to return the CTD so a replacement can be authorised. They did so promptly, and since 3 weeks the replacement is not received and there are no replies to enquiries email.

Can someone advise what to do? or if you have experienced something similar and how long it took? is there any contact number they can reach out to?

Hello all,
Thanks for all the information shared here, they are very helpful.

In my case, I applied for a New TD back in March 2021, received my documents back in April. I also posted them my original passport in June (I didn't have it back in March). Few weeks ago I received an email from the HO saying that:
Thank you for applying for a Home Office Travel Document in March. If you have not posted in your photograph and supporting documents (if required), please do this as soon as possible or your application may be delayed.

If you have already sent us your documentation, you do not need to do anything.

We are currently experiencing delays in considering applications. This is due to the impact of Covid-19 on our processes. We are working hard to consider your application as soon as possible.
Has anyone experienced the same before? Does it mean that I should have my TD soon?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Joeyjoe, Congratulations on getting your travel document.

May I ask when did you contact your MP, and if possible a template of what you asked....
