It's a few years since we renewed our passports but I seem to recall that they ARE sent recorded delivery and you need to sign but I am not 100% sure. If you are not in, then it will be taken to your nearest sorting office and you will be able to collect from there.

It has to be signed for, but not necessarily by the person the passport is for, so as long as someone is at home to sign that will be ok. We renewed our passports last year and I signed for all of them. I was out when they came with one and they came back two hours later (so the chap told me told me).

On the application form it said that it would have to be signed for in certain areas. We didn't have to sign for ours last year but my DN had to and they got the address wrong in the passport office which delaid delivery even though they had the application form checked by the post office before sending it in.

You don't have to sign for them but they are sent via a special courier rather than royal mail.
