Passport renewal

[Hyde Hunter]

looks like the Govt is making good time on Passport renewals, I just did my paperwork and pictures 3 weeks ago thru the local Post Office and was surprised it came back in exactly 3 weeks

When I renewed mine last year, the lady at the post office said 9 to 12 weeks. I got it back in three!

I wish global entry was that good. I am over a year now and still nothing

This should have come as no surprise.​

I applied sometime in the spring and got approved 2 weeks ago while I was in Spain, did my interview at Philadelphia airport, card came yesterday. Leave the country that's the key to approval.

I renewed my US passport in September. I sent all of the required documents and payment via Priority mail. The gov cashed my check in less than a week and the new passport arrived literally 10 days later.

Great news! All reports are that it is getting much faster. Government employees milked Covid for all it was worth with reports some still work from home!

Mine did as well. New passport cam on like a Thursday and the old passport arrived the following Tuesday. Three weeks and a couple of days.

That’s strange. My fiance applied in June and had it by August. Applied online and scheduled the interview for two weeks later.

As far as passport renewal look into the completely online option. I did it last November. Took pictures with my phone in the dining room and uploaded them. Had the passport in about a month.
