British Passport application processing timelines (only)

I sent my application last Thursday, I just called the passport office to check if they've received it or not. The lady couldn't locate it on her system using either my post code or the check and send bar code. Is this normal? I hope they've received my application.

Hello Ppl,

I may have forgotten to complete section 5 of the passport application form, however I did of course enclose the certificate with the application.

Do you think not fully completing that section will affect my application?

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

Is anyone able to help with this?

Thanks

It is bit confusing. It might not be a problem as u sent the certificate with ur application. But could be an issue cos u didn't fill ur form up completely. So leave it on ur luck.

Thanks for the reply Rahel1984

On my application 2weeks ago which i have not gotten my passport for, i put the council details where it says place of issue and it was fine.

Benson,
Place of issue of naturalization was not the council you did your ceremony. Your certificate will say where you certificate was issued. Have a look at this picture.

Well tangie i put where i did my ceremony and guess what i have my passport as we speak everything took 2weeks, it might just be that it does not really matter where you put so long as you filled it in, but come to think of it who actually issue the certificate to you, i would say the council as they actually signed it and give it to you, home office only send it to them whilst they actually issue it, sign and date it then give you.

Hi Tangie, Even i did put home office london as well. Ill advice everyone to put that. But some people in this forum put the council name and they got their passports without any problem.

Well this is not an issue. If you put ur council name it won't be wrong. All they want to check if it was issued in the uk or outside uk.

I was told to put the place of issue on the certificate Rahel.

Only just came across the thread talking about issues with the online version. Has this worked for anyone recently? I applied last week using the online form. No errors or anything, and the status says they've received everything...

Just a quick one.

Passport Application Form ....section 5: CERTIFICATE OF NATURALISATION

There is a provision for PLACE OF ISSUE....will that be the council where the ceremony was held or the issuing authority which is HOME OFFICE LONDON in this case?

Please a prompt response will be apprecaited.

Home office London
