Thank you everyone, I have received the confirmation of receipt via sms on Saturday (weird?) and another SMS this morning saying my new passport is on its way. Incredibly fast!

Dear all, this is my second passport post, I am sorry for this, but it just seems awfully random. I applied on Monday, 13.05, via the post Check and send, with a paper-based application.

Hello everyone, I have applied (EU citizen) via the new service at the beginning of February, and have not yet received any reply, although I am arguably one of the most straightforward cases I can think of.
