megnsamsgracie Posted December 10, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Just an FYI, when I was applying on 11/12 it was stated by many on here that it was about 2weeks. Right now its running just shy of a month, we got ours today. I needed just my last 2 kids. Applied at the PO. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etwright Posted December 10, 2009 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2009 We applied for ours a few months back and it was just about a month maybe a little shy of that. We got both the passport book and card. (We can use the cards to get in and out of Canada about 60 miles north of us).:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithocles Posted December 10, 2009 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I forgot how much I paid but requested the expedited service and received it in two weeks. This was a couple of years back when the rules and regs were taking effect. Other people were having wait times of a couple of months. As far as I know, that service is still available.

mom2tcdx2 Posted December 10, 2009 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I did my kids passport cards on October 17, my daughter's I received on Nov. 21, my son's didn't arrive until Nov. 30. However earlier in the year when I did my passport it arrived within 17 days of when it was mailed. I mailed mine back in October to be sure we would have it in time for our cruise on the 19th.

vwaller72 Posted December 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted December 10, 2009 We have our birth certificates and licenses for this cruise but I'm going ahead and applying for the passports to have them for the next cruise. We decided to do this on such short notice we didn't really have time to get them. If we had to have them I'd do the expedited service but since we don't I'll just use the birth certificates this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare songbird1329 Posted December 11, 2009 #8 Share Posted December 11, 2009 My parents are sailing on january 3 and had to renew theirs, and paid for expedited service -- it was just under 2 weeks. did you know you can track the process on the government's website? I applied for mine just shy of a month ago. Yesterday I got an email saying my passport had been mailed to me. Today I got an email saying it was mailed from Hot Springs AR on the 8th and should arrive at my home by the 14th. And today I got an envelope from the Department of State returning my birth certificate and one copy of my photo, along with a notice that the passport would follow under separate cover.

AndrewD65 Posted December 11, 2009 #10 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Did mine the beginning of September and got it back on the 23rd of September, I was not leaving until January but I considered it was going to take at least two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
