Government probate checker

Hi
I have gone on the government probate status checker and i can see my application but im not sure of a couple of titles, can anyone advise:

Date of Probate - is this the date the application was received/registered/accepted
Document Type - this says probate - will it change once probate is granted

thanks

    I've just checked my MILs and the date of probate is the date it was granted, the certificate arrived a couple of weeks later
  • Thanks for your reply but that's strange because i know the application was sent through in June 2023 and that's the date on the screen - i wouldn't have thought that was the date it was granted aswell.
