You should get an email once you have submitted your online application. Check your junk?

Also you can ring HMPO and ask them as well

during online application you have to tick boxes for how HMPO should contact you, i.e. email and/or phone message

maybe you forgot to tick the boxes???

Hello, Thank you for your advise. I did check the correct boxes for txt and email notification. Contacted HMPO in the end. What they said is that due to the huge amount of applications their system had problems to cope. Fortunetly they did receive application and gave me ref number.
With that I logged into the HMPO track application progress website and was able to re-sent email to my referee so she can confirm the photo. Now off to send documents.
FYI still no confirmation email so system has its glitches .
Thank you all for help.
