Long time lurker, but thought only fair to share my recent experience

Online application: 7 July 23
Documents posted: 19 August 23 (took a while to figure out who could sign)
Documents delivered: 28 August 23
Documents received: 28 August 23 (I did receive an alert that my evidence was not received, but this changed overnight - assume the barcode is scanned but envelope not opened until the following day)
Estimated issue date: 26 September 23
Status changed to processing: 29 August 23
Status alert: photo too dark, retook photo with phone and submitted same day
Estimated issue date: 10 October 23
Status changed to printing: 29 September 23
Status changed to dispatched (card & passport): 29 September 23
Received passport card in post: 6 October 23
Received passport on post: 9 October 23
Original Documents received back: 9 October 23 (same day as passport, in separate envelope)

Bit bizarre to get the ID card first, but there was an issue with Royal Mail this week (tracking still says my passport is at Heathrow!)

All the best for others going through the process; today marks the end of a 2+ year journey with FBR/passport and I'll be opening a can or two of Guinness this evening (also makes me less sore about the rugby at the weekend) :)
