Currently all I have (and have had for the last 4 days) is that it has left Dublin post centre. I would expect it to say something like received at air mail centre but I haven't seen this. Does anyone know how long it takes approximately to get to the UK?
My timeline is as follows (from UK)
Online application 28/03/23
Docs received/processing application (verifying docs) 07/04/23
Processing application 21/04/23
Printing/ dispatched passbook 16/05/23
Printing card 16/05/23
Dispatched card 17/05/23
Received passbook (Wales) 19/06/23
Received card pending
Estimated issue date 09/05/23
Online tracking worked really well for my passbook, updated at every stage. My photo card has the same tracking info as yours, left Dublin mail centre 19/05, not received yet. Ordinarily your tracking will update as follows. Left dublin mail centre, received in Great Britain, post is with delivery partner in Great Britain, We delivered your post in Great Britain. My understanding is that some people received their passports without tracking fully updating.
