Request an email update on the progress of your passport application

You will need a barcode number to track the progress of your application. You can find this 10-digit number on the front page of the passport application form. If you used the Check & Send service or applied in person, you should use the barcode number on your receipt.

You will usually receive an email about the progress of your passport application within one working day.
