Sandi149 Posted October 28, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2006 We are going to be applying for our passports this week. Approximately how long does it take to receive it? I have an old expired passport from 21 years ago and don't remember how long it took. Anyone who got theirs recently can you tell me about how long yours took to arrive in the mail? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annabelle722 Posted October 28, 2006 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2006 :) We applied at our local PO on Oct. 6 and they arrived today the 28th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandi149 Posted October 28, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yeah I heard that you can do it at the local post office now. Years ago when I applied, we had to go down to the main branch. Much easier now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgasaway Posted October 28, 2006 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2006 We applied for our passports back in August. I applied at the PO in the town where I work (Rockford, IL) and it took 2 weeks exactly. DH applied at the PO in the town he works (Janesville, WI) and his arrived on Monday - almost 12 weeks. Mine was issued from the South Carolina office, his from Las Vegas NV. Go Figure :rolleyes: . I guess it all depends on which PO you apply at. 98 Days! Elation 2/3/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojncin Posted October 28, 2006 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I sent my passport from Chicago, forgot where to since I was at the post office to apply for my DS new passport. It was longer than his by two weeks, approx. 6 weeks. I don't know if this had anything to do with the length of time but on the advice of the post office person I sent it certified.

bubbles1209 Posted October 29, 2006 #9 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I applied for my very 1st one in September at the post office here, and was told to expect a 6-8 week wait. I received it in the mail 26 days later. That was without expediting it.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted October 29, 2006 #10 Share Posted October 29, 2006 The "standard" answer they give you is 6-8 weeks, very rarely will you wait that long. Average seems to be about 4 weeks... sometimes sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayscore Posted October 29, 2006 #12 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I suppose it depends where you apply for it. I live in the upper half of Wis. ,in the middle of nowhere, and it took 6 weeks to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
