Passport Processing Times.

[Gamecock_Cruiser]

My dad and brother just got there. Back in 3 weeks from the time they signed until in their hand.

[crusin okie]

We mailed ours in (standard snail mail) the first week in Feb and received them mid March approx one week apart.  Did not pay for expedited  processing.  Have not yet received our old ones.  I also noticed that the status shown on the State Dept website was inaccurate.

My mother just renewed hers. Sent out April 16th, passport office received it April 19th. She just got the new passport back today. (May 10th) Regular service, not expedited.

...Sent to Texas processing center June 5, passports received today, June 20.

I mailed my passport renewal form late last month with regular service, the passport office received it on May 31 per tracking. My new passport was delivered on June 12. Still waiting on my old passport to be returned, but no rush on it of course.

I’m glad to hear these timeframes.  I mailed my passport renewal yesterday using express priority mail and paid extra for expedited processing and return.  I’m hoping I’ll get the new one within a few weeks.

My sister renewed her PP using expedited processing and received it 2 weeks later.

Sent off renewal Mar 4. Got a letter saying I forgot to include my passport card, sent passport card. Got my new passport May 4. Two months even with a boo-boo.

Submitted my kids and received their new passports in 3 weeks.

 

Kinda odd, that kids are 5 years and old folks are 10 years.

The reason for that is kids physically change so fast, not so much with old folks.

That's a good point...

And yet when they turn 16 they can get the 10 year one. Which will be funny when my then 21 year old travels next summer. He had short, cropped hair back when he was 16. Now, not so much. He has that very common long, floppy, curly hair. LOL!

While these rules have been in place for a good while, now Homeland Security is all about facial recognition and much less about comparing a picture on a Passport to what the inspector sees.

Renewed Passports - did not expedite - 

mailed regular USPS May 2 - received new ones three weeks later - surprised!

(Old ones arrived back two weeks ago.)

Hello All,

How long have you guys been seeing on Passport Processing Times recently? 

 

Thanks in advanced.

Are you renewing?  I can be done fully online now.  I'm seeing people in a couple travel groups getting them back in about ten days.  I did this during the first beta test a few years ago and I think it took mine a week, non-expedited.

I will look into this next week. Thank you.

As  I mentioned in my post on June 21st, I mailed my renewal application on June 20th, expedited processing and expedited return.  I received my new passport yesterday, so 13 days from me mailing it and receiving the finished product.

New passports for the grandkids took less than 3 weeks without expedited processing.

No problem!  Highly recommended and you don't even have to leave home! 🙂

I ended up renewing my Passport on line. it was so easy to do. I submitted my application on 07-08-2024 and received it in the mail on 07-18-2024, Crazy Fast. I did not pay to expedite it.

After applying on-line, did you then have to mail your old passport in?  Did they have to receive it before issuing the new one?

We renewed ours back in May using normal service. We got it back exactly 15 days from the day we mailed it.  We were shocked.
