hi I submitted my code the same day of the email which was 24th April, then I had an email asking for a photo and saying security checks being submitted on the 30th. It’s just a waiting game, I have emailed them several times for DBS red number so I can chase it but had zero response so far.

My online status has said ‘in progress’ since I submitted the 5 year history etc on the 27th April. I did chase a couple of days ago, but the reply just said thanks for the information and it will be processed by the team and they will get back to me if they need anything else. From that I suspect the checks might not even have been submitted yet !

Hello,

I am new to the Royal Mail Chat and not sure how to post individually. I'm sorry for barging in on this conversation! I am going into my 7th week now of the recruitment process. I have had confirmation of passing my DBS and that photo ID has been received, but, still no official offer from RM apart from the Step 6 with the conditional offer. How long should I be looking at waiting to hear? Thank you so much for any information. :crazy: x

Got my official offer of employment today, induction on the 2nd of July and starting on the 3rd. :Very Happy

From the email requesting my DVLA code to the security checks being completed took an incredible 8 days.
