cantwaittocruise12 Posted January 26, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2012 What is the time on passport turnaround nowadays ?thanks I just looked this up a couple days ago as I have to get one for my son: http://travel.state.gov/passport/processing/processing_1740.html Processing time: ROUTINE SERVICE As of ( Tuesday January 24, 2012 ), we are processing routine applications in approximately 4-6 weeks from the time of application. EXPEDITED SERVICE As of ( Tuesday January 24, 2012 ), we are processing requests for expedited service in about 2-3 weeks door-to-door, when overnight delivery is requested and paid for both ways (to and from the passport agency).

Cmx3d Posted January 26, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2012 My DW just had hers redone for a name change and used EXPEDITED SERVICE. We got the return in a little over a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserVette Posted January 26, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 26, 2012 We sent ours in late December and it took only 2 weeks without the expedited delivery. We were surprised to get them so quickly. I guess its slower that time of the year !?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violetsmile Posted January 26, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I sent off my renewal the last week of December via certified mail, check was cashed within three days, new passport in my hands in under two weeks, old one returned to me in under three weeks. This was NOT using expedited service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare marshalltp Posted January 26, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 26, 2012 We got a renewal for our 6 year old son (which at that age is considered a new application each time), on Nov 2/2011 and we received it without expedited service 9 days later.......was very surprised....I assume that processing times in Jan and Feb are probably a little longer.

wenderbender Posted January 26, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 26, 2012 We went to the post office January 9th in the afternoon and dropped off our children's renewal forms. We had passports in hand on january 20th. Not expedited service. I didn't even get a chance to track it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuyahoga11 Posted January 26, 2012 #9 Share Posted January 26, 2012 My sister applied Jan 6 at the post office and received it Jan 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastTex Posted January 26, 2012 #10 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Took me about 6 days with expedited service last November. I would expect to get a faster turn around on your application this time of year than during the summer travel months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzorp Posted January 26, 2012 #11 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I just sent my DD's out for renewal about 2 weeks ago and was told that regular was running 2-4 weeks not the 4-6 showing on the website. Will let you know when it actually gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginjer2911 Posted January 26, 2012 #12 Share Posted January 26, 2012 We just went to the PO yesterday and sent in 2 renewals and 2 new applications. Was told that it would take about 3 weeks maybe less by the postal worker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadman0917 Posted January 26, 2012 #13 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I was told 4 - 6 weeks and with my cruise 6 weeks out, I almost sprung for the expedited service but being the cheapscape that I am, I went with the regular processing. I also got mine in about 2 weeks. That seems to be the norm right now. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriciaEMTB Posted January 26, 2012 #14 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I did mine in late July and got it back in less than a month with standard service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt want to pay the extra for expedited service.

Daughter applied for new passport at the post office on January 10, got it back on 23rd with standard processing. Little less than two weeks.

mkleblanc Posted January 26, 2012 #17 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I sent my application out mid-December and received my passport in 9 days. Was shocked. My DH sent his out a week later and got it back in 10 days. Was told 4-6 weeks by the man at the post office though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkmcmom Posted January 26, 2012 #18 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I sent in my renewal on 12 January. It was back to me yesterday, the 25th. It was regular service. I was pleasantly surprised at the quick turnaround. My only dismay was how the cost keeps going up, up, up every time I renew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
