Passport renewal time

Posting for my sister... did a search but didn’t see anything recent.

Does anyone know how long passport renewals are taking lately?

Sister needs to renew and has a trip coming up first week of October, wants to know if she has to expedite.

Thanks!

No, she doesn't need to expedite. If she sends everything in now (Aug 14th) she would have back in about two weeks. No need to pay the additional fee. They say to allow four to six weeks. However, some of my co-workers had it back in 12 business days in July.

My sister's took about 3 weeks in July.

If all your paperwork, photos and payment are in order you should get them in 12 to 16 days.

Took ours 2 weeks from the time we mailed the paperwork in.

My daughter got her new application one back last week, took less than 2 weeks.

We're replacing our lost ones this weekend.

I recently renewed mine. I mailed it in and two weeks later received it back with a letter saying I forgot to sign the application. I signed it and sent it back in and received my passport about 3 weeks later. So 5 weeks even with me forgetting to sign my application.

It took us about 2 weeks to get our renewals back last summer.

Thank you everyone! I’ll let her know!

If you have the Global option it is real quick.

My husband's was three weeks in June and mine was three weeks in July.

Wife got hers renewed and only took a couple weeks or so, my brand new one that I submitted docs for on July 24th arrived in the mail Aug 9th. Like other people have said they say 4-6 weeks, but seems like as long as all the forms and docs are in order and it's pretty straight forward it seems to process fairly expediently. I know I was worried I'd waited to long as we also set sail in October but thankful I don't have to worry about it now :)

My husband applied for one and I renewed on July 2/3. We got ours by the 3rd and 4th week of July respectively. We just did standard shipping.

A friend sent his renewal in a month ago. He just got the application for renewal back because he had his glasses on in his picture. He had the picture taken at Walmart. They should have told him he couldn't have his glasses on. Now has to start all over.

Ouch. I used CVS and they definitely knew the rules. Told me not to smile. I had a logo on my T-shirt that came up pretty high, she cropped it out...even though I offered to go topless.

Personal responsibility: the state dept. website and the instructions on the renewal application— http://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/requirements/photos.html

Ours took 3 weeks in July.

Current reports are 2 - 3 weeks.

Just got mine the other day, 10 days from mailing.

Mrs. M's US Passport expiring next month, 2 day Priority Mail from NY to TX's processing center for normal handling on 11/14 (Wed) via local PO, delivered on Fri 11/16 (Fri. AM) ... well done.  

State Dept. onsite status reporting that it will be 4 to 6 weeks for processing & first status won't be available for 7 to 10 days upon their receipt.  But, 11/21 - day before Thanksgiving, checked & confirmed in the system and processing, updated email address on file for alert.

A week after its delivery, got an email this afternoon that processing has been completed & document has been printed, should be returning by Priority Mail, on or about 12/1/2018 ... that is less than 3 weeks door to door, very impressive.  Renewed mine about 3 years ago and it was also a fast turnaround.   Fee paid, still $110 USD only for 10 years, plus postage - tracking included.
