Dear members
This forum is very helpful and for that thank you very much.
I applied for my first british passport on 1st September 2021 at peterborough hmpo. I sent my documents via royal mail special delivery on 3/9/21 and according to Royal mail it has been delivered on 6/9/21 at 07:09 am. Yet I don’t see any updates until now when i sign in to track my application. I didn’t receive any email or text either.

Is it normal to take this much of time to update the receipt of the documents? I checked others documents being updated within 24 hrs of delivered. Does anyone has same issues? Please let me know if you are also waiting for the documents status update?
Many thanks

Thank you very much k187 and akava. Highly appreciated for your kind information. I was just feeling little nervous in case anything goes wrong. I have nothing in my hand now.
Have you already got your passport and documents back already? How long did it take? If i may ask.
Thank you again. :-))
