I submitted my Passport application yesterday via Post Office Check & Send.

The guy told me my application should reach Liverpool office today.

Is there a way to track my mail to make sure it is delivered?

I looked at my receipt n there is no tracking number n only a bar code but im not able to track with it.

Any inputs will be much appreciated.

Thanks!
