    My 5 yr old grandsons passport is due for renewal soon and looks like they may not get away this year as planned... will it be okay to let it lapse or is it less hassle getting a renewal ?

    I would ring again, OH phoned on the 24th after posting on the 21st and they confirmed that they had indeed received the application and it had been loaded onto the system.
    They should be able to tell you if they have received it, but they will want the barcode that you wrote down taken from your application.

    Oh's passport arrived on Tuesday morning (4th) via courier.
    It took 13 days in total, he paid by cheque so if they waited for it to clear then i think that is pretty good going.
