I am currently in the process of applying for my first adult British passport. According to HMPO my passport has been printed. And I wonder what happens next i.e. the delivery of the British passport. Should I expect an email notification from one of the delivery partners e.g. TNT, Royal Mail etc. with a tracking reference? Or, would the passport simply be delivered to my post box?

Accordingly to other posts, different people seem to have difference experience.

Thank you!

You may or may not get a delivery notification. It may just drop into your letterbox. Documents are sent separately a few days after passport.

Thank you!
