yes coc here too, i rang for forms and they didn’t send the first lot so had to ring again but they still only gave me the time limit of when i first rang so ended up with only 10 days to get the forms done and sent in😫x

Hi all :-)
I requested coc on the 30th April recieved fri and posted special delivery today... does anyone know how long coc taking? Thanks :-)

I’m 6 weeks in for my daughters coc and received a letter confirming they have received it last week saying it will take 11 weeks, but on here everyone waiting for a COC has been waiting 25 plus weeks

What date is your renewal due?

5/08 so a while away yet but wanted to get them off as soon as possible, first time renewal and wasn’t sure if it would take as long as a new claim

Betsy93 · 15/05/2025 14:08

Thought I'd ring scan date 7th march, still nothing- she even got my SD wrong and said it was the 14th 🤣🤣🤣 I lost interest after that

Mummytoviboys · 15/05/2025 12:12

Just rang for an update as I’m 25+1 MR
was put through to a CM, they are on 8/11 and working in date order to keep it fair to everyone! She said they’re getting through them quicker as yesterday they were at 7/11 and day before 6/11! She said it could still be 2/3 weeks as I’m 20/11

Hi

I’m same date as you for MR I had called today early afternoon and was told the same thing by a male CM. He also said they are working on date 8/11. For once two people are being told the same thing

I think we won’t hear until around mid September , I won’t bother calling them then if you already have, I can’t remove the exact date that I called them to ask for the form but it’s got to be around 15 weeks mark now

Mummytoviboys · 15/05/2025 15:21

I’ll ring back Wednesday next week and see what they’re on!

such a long wait isn’t it, she said another 2/3 weeks 😩

i never received any letter or anything for my coc x

I was shocked I received a letter because I’ve read on here that a lot of people hadn’t and for them to say 11 week and to contact them if it goes over this 😂 I don’t know why they even put wait times on the letters it’s never true!

This is my first renewal aswell, it seems it doesn’t go on wait times just when it’s due to run out. I’m not long before you were 12/7
