Hi All Can someone please suggest what is the next status after 'Application processing' if the application has made some progress ? It has been showing the same status as 'Application processing' for weeks now. After about 12 weeks, mine changed on Thursday from “Application processing” to “Your p...
YAY!!! Progress bar has changed to ‘your passport is being printed’! Application online 23.12.20 Paperwork sent 18.3.21 Estimated issue date 18.5.21 Fingers crossed it should plop through the letterbox in the next few days. :D Hey Flying mom, can you advise if you stamped your electricity bill? Tha...
Webchat is available during work hours. If you see it greyed out, it means the queue is full. You just have to refresh the webpage. If you have a vacant computer, run a little macro to get it refreshed once every minute or so until the button turns back on. The web chat was unavailable when I start...
Many congratulations to those who are starting to receive their passports. Good to know that things are definitely starting to move. I wondered if the staff were working behind the scenes over weekends as well as the backlog must be massive? Still patiently hanging in there myself. Applied 23/12, p...
I can now say that the naturalisation journey is over for me :D The timeline: * applied to become a citizen in Feb 2019 * got approved and sent the final fee in Feb 2020 <COVID happened> * received the certificate of naturalisation in Feb 2021 and applied for a passport <Passport services were offl...

There's some hope for receiving our first time passports sooner than later, someone on another forum confirmed that their status has changed to printing yesterday. They applied back in Feb and submitted documents in early May with an estimated issue date of 25th of May - so roughly two weeks past e...
Not sure how are they planning on "clearing the backlog" by the end of June (6-8 weeks) if no passports (seemingly) were issued for first time applicants since reopening. I'd expect them to at least process some of the applications and print some of the passports, unless they are "processing" all o...
Like I said, just ignore the progress bar. It never ever worked for one day since the introduction of the online application... You can always track the actual progress by chatting to the passport staff during work hours on DFA website. Thanks, that’s worth knowing. Luckily, I’m not in a rush, but ...
Just checked this morning. Yesterday my status was still saying “processing application” but the progress bar was completely full - so I was feeling pretty optimistic. This morning, the bar has gone BACK to around 3/4 full! :shock: No indication of why. Estimated issue date was 18/5, and although I...

I applied online on 23/12 and send supporting documentation and the end of March. My progress bar is a tiny fraction from the end (if that makes sense?! :lol: ) and I have an estimated due date of 18/5. I’m hoping that as I haven’t heard anything by now, all paperwork is in order and I’m nearing th...
I applied on 06/05 and sent the documentation next day. My application change status to processing 2 days ago with due date to be on 02/06 I hope the tracking is right Hello! Is your application a renewal or a first time application? I applied via paper application from Canada in March but online a...

I applied for mine online in 23/12 but didn’t submit supporting documentation until mid April, as per advice on the site. My progress bar on the live tracking link shows more than 3/4 full so, assuming it’s pretty accurate and reflective of headway, it shouldn’t be much longer. The estimated date of...
Hi Danny, I had exactly the same question so I messaged the live chat page. The passport office is happy to accept a certified copy of your current passport providing the signatory is from one of the approved on the list. Solicitor doctor, teacher etc. I quite agree - it isn’t clear on the form at a...
My apologies if this has been asked before. I’ve had a look through the forum and can’t find a similar question. My son submitted a paper application in December with certified copies of his British passport/driving licence. Yesterday, everything was returned with a cover letter advising him that al...
Congratulations email received 18:30 on Monday 14 December. Advised by FBR that certificate, documentation and passport application being sent by registered, signed for post. Hopefully, any day now!

My son received his email confirming address and pending entry on to the FBR on 19 October and that the certificate and supporting documentation would be returned in 4 weeks. He’s still waiting so fingers crossed, it’s all just caught in the logjam.
Just wanted to see if anyone else had received their documentation back yet? Still waiting for mine following the email confirming FBR on 19/10. I’m assuming it’s because of the continuing lockdown, not that they have got lost in the post!
