British Passport application processing timelines (only)

[raja.brit]

Dear All,

I submitted my Passport application yesterday via Post Office Check & Send.

The guy told me my application should reach Liverpool office today.

Is there a way to track my mail to make sure it is delivered?

I looked at my receipt n there is no tracking number n only a bar code but im not able to track with it.

Any inputs will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Question for all those who received their passports.

After receiving sms ( stating that you will receive passport within few days ) so after this sms roughly when one receive it ? I mean other day after receiving sms or after few days ? Thanks in advance.

But now I am just lil bit concerned as many people said here on forum that they signed on electronic pad at end while i wasnt given that. I was just given paper and there she asked to sign it .

omg you are amazing Thank you ever so much for this response, hope you didn't mind typing all this!! may god bless you. it shouldn't matter as long as you signed. maybe different passport offices has different rules i suppose it always varies lil bit from place to place. you will soon be posting about receiving your passport
