We applied online two weeks ago today (9th May) to renew our two daughters’ passports. DD1 is a child to adult renewal, hers went to Durham. DD2 is a child renewal, hers went to Liverpool.
Sent old passports by recorded delivery and they were received on 11th May in both offices. DD1 (Durham) is currently still showing as ‘send old passport’, DD2 (Liverpool) was confirmed as received last week and her birth certificate was requested. We’re less worried about hers as at least there’s been some progress.
Getting stressed about DD1’s though. We travel on 4th August, so still have some time, but there are so many horror stories, I’m starting to panic…
Anyone had quick turnaround with online renewals (especially keen on positive stories re Durham!).

My child online renewal couple of weeks ago took 4 weeks. Was Durham. I can't believe it won't be done by August?!

We've got a thread: "Passport applications and renewal timelines..." or some such (I should know better, I started it, but can't link on my phone now) where there are quite a few positive stories. Personally, I'm increasingly leaning toward witchcraft...

Can I jump on here and ask a question please? It might sound stupid…
dd is renewing her passport but it’s now an adult passport rather than her existing child’s passport.
The options are renewal, first child or first adult.
we are confused! We are renewing but it’s going from a child’s to an adults - which box do we tick?!
