pe4all Posted February 17 #329 Share Posted February 17 The day after I got back from my Magic cruise I sent our passports out (expedited) from our local post office, as I may want to squeeze in a cruise (possibly in April) before we are welcome our first grandchild in the beginning of June. Sent them off February 6th, and just got them back this morning! (2/17) That is less than a 2 week turn-around! Well done U.S. Dept. of State! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyntil8ing Posted February 17 #331 Share Posted February 17 My son applied for a new passport (his first adult 10 year one) on 1/16, regular service, and according to USPS Informed Delivery it will arrive today. Happy to no longer have to take kids to apply in person every five years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think about it, 30 days should be more than enough for a properly submitted renewal — five days processing (plus mailing time) seems reasonable —- unless the thing is going to just sit there until someone gets moving on it.

Davechipp74 Posted February 17 #333 Share Posted February 17 In many major cities you can get them the same day. In NYC for example a specific P.O. on Manhattan you go in the A.M. then come back a few hours later to pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard about that, and that it was very hard to get an appointment at one of those pp agencies. I just wanted my pp by April-ish, so I didn't need to do that. My nephew did not realize his pp had expired- was leaving for Cancun the next day, and had to fly to Vermont as a "walk-in" to get his - lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted February 18 #335 Share Posted February 18 Our youngest son sent his first application off on 1/19 and received it back yesterday. I think State is back to normal for processing times. (And this was not an expedited thing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You generally need to be traveling soon in order to do this (I think it's less than two weeks) and there is an expedite fee involved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat915 Posted February 18 #339 Share Posted February 18 Glad to hear this. I am a little concerned about my sister's passport. They received Feb 3 and cashed check but it still says " no information available," when I do the status update on the website. She did routine processing.
