I got mine in just under 3 weeks, non expedited. Applied at my local Post Office in California on 2/14/2014, and just learned I will receive it tomorrow, 3/6/2014. The website says you can get email updates, but it is not working. But you can call their toll free number and they will give you a status over the phone: 1-877-487-2778, and even a USPS tracking number once it's mailed. I'm so relieved because my wife got excited and booked our trip just four weeks from my application date, and the website says to allow 4 to 6 weeks. Apply early, but don't panic if you have less then that. ;)
Anyone get a new passport lately? How long did it take?
