Hi everyone.
I applied for my first travel document 24th January and got a letter from home office with acknowledgment on the 20th Feb. Does the 70 working days start when I sent my application or from when they replied to me ?
I hope it comes soon I hate the waiting game.

Hi!
Have you received your travel document?

I applied for the renewal of TD
Date of application 10/01/18
Acknowledgement of application 06/02/18
Still waiting for TD I am getting worried as I have a holiday booked for 09/05/18. Looking at the timeline for other people commenting 3-5 months. I cant find a number to call and track as it says not to book holidays before getting TD. I expected a renewal to be quicker. Any advice anyone Im stressed?

Yes I applied on the 22nd of March, emailed them about 15 days ago which they replied to after 10 days and said that at that time they are dealing with the applications sent to them on of after 11th of January. They said they haven’t even put mine in the system yet hence no acknowledgment letter.

Hi Feri,
Thank you for sending this update! I don’t know if they lie or what because 7 days ago they told me they were up to 10th January now telling you they are up to the 30th january! I applied on 29th January so mine should be here by now and it’s not. I hope yours comes quickly it’s a horrible waiting game

I don’t think the solicitor has given you right price. Mine was £5 for a solicitor go into the office and ask them to sign. Or you can ask a priest at a local church.
