Passport Delivery - DX Secure or Royal Mail?

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?

Re: British Passport application processing timelines (only)

Yeah, go ahead and give the DX secure a call (I will drop you there free number in PM ;)), they would be able to give you tracking number which you can then put online and have some more peace of ...

Try call dx secure to find out if they have a delivery for you, most likely yours will be delivered tomorrow.

Is it because people don't bother to post after getting approvals or don't apply for one?
Spots on! A lot of folks don't bother to apply for a travel passport straight after becoming a BC if there is no urgent need for it.

What tips do you need TTOE, I was there on Tuesday. Multistorey car park across the road from the building. The PO folks are quite relaxed, they do ask a lot of questions though, but are very friendly. Do not need to carry any documents with you at all, apart from the interview letter. Carry water ...

Re: Usually we call HO, today HO called me

Correct, you can get called if the caseworker needs just a simple & straight forward clarification from you. My wife was called on the day our approval decision was made by our caseworker again for clarification of her maiden name, if she wants it to be on her BC certificate.
