Just wondering if all delivery of passports is done by DX secure, or do you get Royal Mail deliver them in some cases?

Any heads-up from anyone out there, RM or DX Secure?

Hi, TTOE, mine is with DX. I did interview one day before yours. You can call 08443710000 and then press * to speak to the staff. Providing postcode and surname they can check your package. Hope this helps to you. Good luck mate

Many thanks uknotts and congrats mate, I did call DX and HMPO as well, I got the good news from the HMPO call that our (Mr &Mrs) passports have been printed on the 28/03 and they actually advised that I call DX. I will wait till Monday AM if nothing received before then I will contact DX again, I'm hoping Monday now for delivery.

Congrats keepsim. In some instance you do get your supporting documents before your interview and sometimes you get them back after your passport is delivered. Call DX Secure to find out if they have delivery for you, they will need your post code and name.
