British Passport application processing timelines (only)

Hi everyone,
I had my interview yesterday now I'm waiting for pp.
I have seen on the forum that most people received their supporting docs before the British pp or even before interview.
I chose the option for them to be returned securely but no sign of them turning up until now.
Has anyone else been waiting or had to wait beyond interview to get the supporting docs back?

Well i think thats it. They won't do anymore checks. The guy took my interview said its quiet at the passport office so i should expect my passport within 4 working days.

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.

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

[benson147]

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.
