What does Passport Global "Awaiting recipient action" mean?
The carrier needs a corrected address or delivery instructions from you.
What it means
Passport groups this with their address-issue status and says the local carrier needs corrected address information or delivery instructions. They direct you to check your email or contact that carrier directly.
Should I worry?
Yes. Nothing moves until you supply what the local carrier is asking for.
What you can do now
- Check your email for the request.
- Contact the local delivery carrier directly — they are the ones holding it, not Passport.
