Passport time

[sprint180]

Just an FYI I just got my passport back, it took 24 days.  Not expedited, mailed from Nebraska.  Happy sailing you all.

Mine took 17 days.

US Passports can now be renewed entirely online.  No more mail process!

No telling how long it'll take.  My husband and I sent ours out for renewal on the same day -- both natural born Americans, no red flags.  His came back in about two weeks, while mine was MONTHS.  It's been more than a year, so I can't remember the exact numbers -- but the weird difference in time sticks in my mind. 

 

If they can be renewed online now, has the processing center's fee disappeared?

The online link says that 6-8 weeks is the typical time.  And fee is $130.
