Dear Mr Geo
Thank you for your enquiry.
I can confirm that your passport application was received by the Durham Passport Office on the 23/10/2015.
Your passport application is currently going through the examination process.
Correctly completed applications are generally being processed within the timescales of the service you have applied for:
If you applied using the Check and Send service, available through selected branches of Post Office Limited, your application has a turnaround target of 3 weeks. This, however, is not a guaranteed service and turnaround times may exceed this during periods of peak demand.
Please note that if you are aged 16 or over and are applying for your first passport you will be required to attend an interview as part of the application process. We recommend that you allow 6 weeks for your application to be processed.
Thank you
Customer service e-mail team

I'm not up to date with current timelines for British passport applications - I got mine just under 3 weeks, a couple of mates got theirs within 2 weeks - but bear in mind we applied for our passports earlier in the year before all the kerfuffle of rule changes with BC. Unfortunately Casa is right, you will just have to wait, all the best to you.
