Will I be notified if my working holiday visa is successful before picking up my passport?

Hi all,

I recently applied for a working holiday visa at the Japanese consulate in London (I'm applying from the UK). They accepted all my forms and told me that my passport would be ready for collection in 5 working days, and can be picked up from then.

Just wondering if I will be notified via email or in any other way if my visa has been approved before I go in to collect my passport? Or do I just have to wait and find out when I go to pick it up?

I haven’t been able to find a clear answer online, so if anyone has gone through the same process and can share their experience, that would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!
