Passport return addresses

FC47

My partner and 2 kids passports have all expired. We applied to renew and have 3 PEX references and were asked to return old passports. I sent 3 different envelopes with individual PEX on each by registered mail to the Liverpool address (which was advised on the first application I processed). However having now double checked again I have just realised applications have different return addresses in Durham and Corby (although the PEX was correct). Is this going to mean they will be rejected or renewal will be delayed?

They won't be rejected. Might delay them very slightly but it won't be significant.

It makes no difference what office you send them to as long as they are in individual envelopes with the correct PEX number.  they are allocated randomly so all sites get even numbers of passport to process.  The site you sent them to will open them and scan them on to the system using the PEX number.   If they are straightforward renewals they will go into a queue for the digital application system and you will get a text once they have been approved.
