High! Approved then printed and delivered within a week. Fingers crossed for you!

It was pretty quick (around a fortnight) but I am not sure how long it will take to get my old one back. Does anyone have any idea?

Approved on 29th and delivered yesterday.
I saw on a Facebook post that some were being delivered by DHL and to go to tracking on their website, click customer ref and enter the number after PEX with no spaces and then postcode.
I tried this and the info was on there there the day after printed.

You will definitely get it in time.

I think you will be ok! Mine was approved on Friday and arrived today

I got a text when approved and then another when it was printed (The next day). Then nothing until a text from DHL on day of delivery

If you sent you old passport in for a renewal then they won't send it back to you, I don't think.

Outfoxedbyrabbits · 04/05/2022 17:55

Apologies, that was to @Soffit

PhilFlute · 04/05/2022 17:57

Approved on 20th April and arrived on 26th April.

3 days! (Last week)

cigarettesNalcohol · 04/05/2022 18:35

Mine took two weeks to arrive after approval. DD's took 2 days.

Exactly the same here, with TNT (DD's).

Mine however, not as great but still ok - I had a text from TNT and then nothing for almost two weeks with no update. Then I received a text to let me know it was arriving the same day.

theremustonlybeone · 04/05/2022 18:41

I renewed my DH and the process started 28th March was only approved on the 20th April but was received on the 24th April

Apologies, that was to @Soffit

Thanks. Why am I sure that I read that they would send it back? I mean, i don't need it back as it was long expired but only because they said that they would...

Yes they do send them back, just with the corner cut off. Just received my sons old passport about 3 weeks after his new one arrived

Of course they send the old one back to you.

Soffit · 09/05/2022 20:35

Our old ones seem to have gone walkies. Am I likely to get an email before they send them out?
