Re: Delays in first passport for child born overseas
This is the reply I got today "Your application will take at least 8 months from when it’s received by Her Majesty’s Passport Office in the UK. This is a guideline and not a definitive turn a round. As soon as all the necessary examination checks have been completed the passport will be issued. We do not have an estimation of exactly when this will be.

Re: Delays in first passport for child born overseas
How many times do you need us to tell you so? You were told “at least” 8 months. For some countries it can take years.
You might not - or probably won’t - hear anything unless and until the application is approved, or requires further information.

Yes, that can be “normal”.
