f1rstclass Posted June 21, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2010 WOW!! That was some turn around time and I didn't even ask for expedited service. Went to local post office and submitted all of the paperwork, picture, etc. on June 4th and today got an email that all has been processed and it was mailed on Saturday. That is some quick turn around time. VERY IMPRESSED!! Email stated should have it by the 26th. Heck, I don't even need it until July 2011. Mark that off the 'ol "to do list". Just one more thing to know that we are getting closer and closer!! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc80 Posted June 21, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Yep, I sent mine in right before Christmas and had it back in about 3 weeks. Crazy fast, even without expediting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing, I didn't even realize it until today that mine (since I am from VA) was processed in New Orleans. All this time, I was thinking they did them all from Washington, DC. Who knew! I certainly didn't. Somebody at that processing facility certainly has it going on to get the turn-around time to be so quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOMOFTHREE68 Posted June 21, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 21, 2010 When I got one for my kids last November, I want to say it took around 10 days from when we turned everything in. I was shocked! What a nice surprise to not have to wait for it. It makes the cruise more real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy4Koko Posted June 21, 2010 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2010 awesome!!!!! I was wondering if it would really take the 4 to 6 weeks they say. We put in for the kids passports on the 11th..so hopefully theirs will be arriving shortly, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only1me Posted June 22, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I submitted my DS passport on the 5th and his was back by the 16th. I sent mine in for a last name change (recently married) on the 5th and it took a whole month. I was told that children are easier to process and they have t obe renewed every 5 years instead of 10.

You can actually go online and track the status of it at: http://travel.state.gov/passport/status/status_2567.html Plus, you can enter an email address so when it is processed and mailed, you can get a delivery confirmation number.

SATXLady Posted June 25, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Mine also went really fast. My mom and I mailed our passport renewals apps on June 10 (I wrote the check on the 9th and mailed next day). They both showed up on the web site the following week (can't remember the exact date) as being processed. Web site which said processing time is 4-6 weeks. Today, we received emails that they have been processed and mailed back and we should receive by the 30th. Not really sure where they were processed. Mailed them to the National Passport Processing Center in Philadelphia and the priority mail tracking shows they were processed through HOT SPRINGS NATIONAL PARK, AR.

abw2005 Posted June 25, 2010 #9 Share Posted June 25, 2010 There was a 'passport day' thing where I live in March and that's when I did mine, I think it was right around 2 1/2 weeks from when I applied for it to when I got it, and that was regular service too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone_cruisin Posted June 25, 2010 #10 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I did expidited service - Fedex'd it on a Monday and had it back in my hand Friday night. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1rstclass Posted June 25, 2010 Author #11 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Yeah, got mine back on the 23rd. Didn't even take 3 wks to get it back. I was very impressed with that kind of turn-around time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
