Passport received: 13 August 2021 - I was away overnight and when I checked the TNT tracking website it said that the passport was delivered and there was a photo of a front door. However it was not my front door and the front door of another random block of flats! I was panicking that my passport was delivered to the wrong address but when I got home the next day the passport was there. I have no idea why a photo of a different front door was uploaded - I guess it was a mistake by the driver!
Documents received : 17 August 2021 (TNT secure delivery). Driver handed it over to me in person at the front door and also attached a photo of the front door (my one this time!)
