DeepFreeze63 Posted September 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Wow, an unexpected surprise in today's mail - my new passport. Submitted a renewal request on 7/18 with both expedited mail service and expedited processing for a "big book" passport. Been checking on progress on-line but only saw "received 7/21"; so was shocked when it came in expedited U.S. Mail today. Had been worried about "enough blank pages" (I renewed 2 years ago BUT "forgot" to check the box for a "big book"); so I renewed this time with 3 full empty pages left. African 2022 cruise used a lot of pages; had 2 European cruises in 2023 that used only 2 pages. Beautiful background art, sturdy construction, and 42 pages for Visas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RELS Posted September 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2023 My passport (expedited, express mail, large format) came in 5 weeks. I was very pleasantly surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston lab girl Posted September 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2023 A little bit off topic but we renewed globle entry and tsa precheck. Put paperwork in on a Saturday. They said four to 6 months. Got renewed notice that Monday. New cards in less than a week. Maybe renewals are going faster than new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the renewal goes fairly quickly but could take 6 months if you require an interview. DW and I got our renewal in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
