msperkey Posted December 24, 2021 #29 Share Posted December 24, 2021 We went to the post office to redo ours and they told us 14 weeks. We should have paid the extra money to get it faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRF Posted December 24, 2021 #31 Share Posted December 24, 2021 15 hours ago, S.A.M.J.R. said: I'm curious... how many people have not expedited their application, then come whining if it takes a couple of months? Personally, I'd be whining if I paid $240 ($60x4) to get my passports more than six months before I need them. Not many lately, but over the summer there were a number of threads about people who did not expedite and were facing their passports not showing up in time. I understand if a whole family is renewing, the extra fee can be a burden, but for a single person or couple, it should be well within their means if they have the funds to cruise.

TeeRick Posted December 24, 2021 #32 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I just renewed. Sent it in by mail on Dec 3rd. I used expedited service though the Philadelphia center. And I got the new one in the mail in 15 days. I don't mind paying the additional fee for expedited service. It gets spread it out over 10 years until the next renewal. I agree with @LGW59 about peace of mind and I admit I am a bit worried every time I mail my passport into the great unknown! That's just me. Somebody else might think differently. 🎄Happy Holidays!🎄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that could happen again in an instant. With the rise in passport fees, I wouldn't be surprised to see a bunch of folks renewing earlier than planned (even if it's only saving $20 over 10 years). With omicron and the holidays going on, I wouldn't be surprised if there were fewer working in the office at the moment and for the next few weeks or so. What took 4 weeks yesterday could take 14 come tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishwhiskey Posted December 24, 2021 #35 Share Posted December 24, 2021 We sent out our passport renewal applications on October 30th and received them both back on December 3rd. We did not pay for the expediated service.It was surprising to us that we got them back so fast.Everything that we read made it sound like it would take months.

PlatteCoPoke Posted December 24, 2021 #37 Share Posted December 24, 2021 We sent in two renewals for wife and I, and a new application for our youngest who doesn’t have a passport - all expedited. Our renewals were mailed two weeks ago, status shows as approved and that we should receive in a week. Our daughters however… shows “not received”. Does a renewal and a new application go to different offices or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeIsCruisin Posted January 2, 2022 #38 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Sent my passport renewal in sometime in October, didn't show in process til 11/9 and I'm still waiting. I cruise January 8 but have my certified birth certificate ready for this time. When I submitted my application it said 8-11 weeks. I did not expedite.

Ours were submitted to the local facility on 11/27. Shows received on 11/30. Guessing you sent yours probably the last week in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare S.A.M.J.R. Posted January 6, 2022 #41 Share Posted January 6, 2022 FWIW, we dropped off our passports (two renewals and two new applications) at the local site (County Clerk's office) on 11/30. Showed as being received by US Govt on 12/1. All currently showing as "Approved" with an estimated return of 1/10. That would be 6 1/2 weeks from drop off. Glad we didn't spend $240 to rush it.

Mike45LC Posted January 26, 2022 #44 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Submitted my renewal application on Jan 3, 2022 via overnight Express Mail. Paid to expedite it and for it to be overnighted back to me. Took 22 days for me to get the new passport. Amazing job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
