Hi,

I had my private ceremony on the 20th of November and as of this evening (10 days from the Ceremony), the Passport Office hadn't received any acknowledgement from the HO on my ceremony attendance and hence has not yet started working on the application. They advised that I contact HO to send the notification to HMPO. I have sent a note to the Citizenship Support email address but no response as yet.

Anyone else experiencing a similar situation / delays with their Passport after the Ceremony?

Thanks!

It's most likely working days not weekends, so it's not ten days yet and I suspect they didn't send notification straight away.

Thanks, mrgs1. I am aware that they say it's 20 working days but:
1. It's the 9th working day today and not sure how long HMPO will take post notification, so kind of worried about being able to travel in time (mid December)
2. Generally frustrating that despite attending a private ceremony and fast tracking things from my end, a notification message is taking so long (and unable to speak to any helpline)

Anyway, it is what it is

1. Date of Citizenship ceremony: 03/11/2017
2. Date BRP card returned: 03/11/2017
3. Date British Passport received: 10/11/2017 (via DX Delivery)

7 days after ceremony and no interview.

I suspect ours will take a while, Ceremony not until 19th then it's Christmas, so 2018 by my estimation.
