How long does it take for first child passport? Child is born in UK..
Am in the same situation as you and it's now 2 weeks I sent off my child application. There was no appointment available for a fast track application until after 3 weeks, so I had no option than to post it myself. Now we have to travel next week urgently . The guy I spoke to on the phone today spoilt my day by telling to allow up to 4 weeks for a postal application. I will be on the phone with them again tomorrow.Kb_puth wrote:How long does it take for first child passport? Child is born in UK.. Already been 2 week (check and send service). It's really frustrating to wait.. I had travel plans for next week
Hi. I m in the same situation guys. I sent my baby's passport application more than 3 weeks ago but still waiting. And unfortunately I don't have barcode number also. When I phone them they say that they can't do anything without barcode number . I sent by special delivery.Kb_puth wrote:Hi InUkOnHsmp,
As per gov website, Fast track option will take around 3 week time to get an appointment so I thought check and send was the best option. My friend who applied recently for his daughter received passport in a week so I had hopes. I called PO to upgrade my application to fast track but they told that service not available for first passport application
Already suffered long 3 month wait with citizenship application which messed up my holiday plans..

I live in newcastle, hence Durham Passport office is closer to me.
But seen from some posts saying '' Don't send to Durham as it takes too long b4 sending interview letter,
Quick question... Peterbrough or Durham- Which is quicker in processing 1st Adult passport applications.
Thanks
Thanks all for being part of my Naturalisation application journey. All your timelines were really helpful to keep track of when I might expect my next update tentatively. Wish you all a good luck.tobeukcitizen wrote:tobeukcitizen wrote:Application Timeline
