Has anyone used the online progress check for the passport application?

If yes, approx how long do they take to reply?...

Thanks

I have used it. They're pretty good at replying - you get a response within a few hours.

Thanks... I expected a online checker similar to royal mail for tracking recorded delivery...

Anyway, sent the request, waiting for a reply.

Anybody know if UKPS cross-checked the refree on the application form?...

They didn't contact them in my case but I am pretty sure they verify the signature and passport number of the referee against their databases.
