Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone has recently updated a child’s/new passport on their UKVI/eVisa account and had to physically send the passport to the Home Office.

In my case, I sent the passport on 12 May and got it back on 16 May with a letter saying:

“Please allow for 21 days for the update to show on your account.”

The letter also says the change of details has been noted and sent to the relevant team.

My daughter has a flight booked on 27 May, so I’m trying to understand realistic timelines from people who went through the same process recently.

How long did it take for your UKVI account to update after getting the passport back?

Did anyone travel while the update was still pending?

Thanks in advance
