Timeline for Passport Applications

Congrats to Bhumi my darling friend........so which country is it gonna be first with your new oystercard?

Hey Allta

I didn't wait for a letter. I called the IPS a week after submitting my application and asked them for the reference number. This allowed me to call the appointments line for an appointment.

You should get the letter about7 days after application.

I wouldn't opt for the London office as the wait is apparently very long. Go for Chelmsford or Luton....depending on what's best for you of course.

Good luck !
