British Passport - Tracking

[jilpangs]

Hi,

I have applied for BP through check and send. I don't see any tracking number in the receipt given by Post office. But people mention as below in RED, can someone clarify how they track this receipt? Will we get an email / SMS?

Passport for:Adult
Application Type: First Adult Passport (Naturalisation)
Method of application: Check & Send
Date of application:09/04/2016
Date application received by IPS: 12/04/2016

I have applied on 11/May.

Thanks
Jil

Yes I have seen it before but it says
"You must wait 3 weeks after you apply before you can track your application."

Question is how people get the information
highlighted in RED in my previous post within
few days?
