Post by HSMP9999 » Wed May 15, 2013 10:05 pm

Hi All, How to check when passport application is delivered to IPS. I have submitted my application today after my ceremony but I don't how to check when and if my application has reached IPS service. The application was done by check and send service, lady at the Post Office told me the application will be send today. Please share your experience.

You should get a text from them about 4 / 5 days later saying that it has arrived

do they send text only to people who used Check and send?
I applied by next day delivery and did`t get text when was delivered.

anyone with a mobile number mentioned in the form should receive a text within 2-3 days from receipt of the application by IPS/ HMPO. however i believe this is a relatively new initiative (don't know the start date though)

I applied via the PO check and send and, 2 weeks on, have not received any text message. I also provided my mobile phone number.
