Craving A Cruise Posted November 9, 2014 #151 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Yippee!!! Got my new (Renewal) passport today! :D Monday 10/27/14 - Mailed from CA to PA via Priority Mail-2day (actually took 4 days) Friday 10/31/14 - Text msg received stating it was 'Delivered' at 11:30 a.m. No other communication received all week. Saturday 11/08/14 - Received new passport via Priority Mail Express (paid extra $ to ship it overnight). I'm still waiting for my old passport to be returned and also my new passport card. (Although, they did say to expect 3 separate mailings.) I did NOT pay the extra $60 fee to expedite the passport. Although, I did consider doing so, because at the time I mailed off everything the website stated that it could take 4-6 weeks :eek::eek: Needless to say, I am very happy with the quick turn-around time!!! :) ~~~~~ Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoncom Posted November 17, 2014 #157 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I believe I read US gov has 17 offices. I went down to Miami one several yrs, ago when I read in local paper rates were going way up and there was one day left to get free extra pages in existing PP.It was going to be $86. So I got in line with 100s others. What I learned was pleading immediate need for PP, they were given on site.It may have helped to be a Latin.

NCPipeSmoker Posted December 8, 2014 #159 Share Posted December 8, 2014 My wife needed a new passport as her current one was still in her maiden name. We submitted it without the rushed processing. Sent via regular mail but chose expedited shipping for it to be returned. We sent in the application, current passport with maiden name, and certified copy of our marriage certificate. Mailed: 11/21/14 Delivered to processing center: 11/24/14 Check cleared account: 11/26/14 New passport arrived: 12/6/14 So 2 week turnaround. Still waiting on marriage certificate to be returned.

hkk02 Posted December 8, 2014 #160 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I went for a lost/renewal/name change and had it expedited. Delivered to me exactly 7 days after application sent, 11/29-12/6. Still waiting on my birth and marriage certificates. Did not expect it back so fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare captain_hug99 Posted January 10, 2015 #161 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Just got my passport in two weeks 3 days. DH and I sent our renewals in on Dec. 23, they came today. We are however waiting on my daughter's renewal, she is under 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted February 9, 2015 #162 Share Posted February 9, 2015 We applied on 1/31/15 and according to the State Department website the passports have been issued and will be in our hands by 2/11. This was for regular processing (although we did pay for priority mail return of the passports). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisconsinFan Posted February 9, 2015 #163 Share Posted February 9, 2015 We ordered a new passport for our 16 year old (his youth one was expiring, and it is a NEW passport by their rules) on January 24. His new passport arrived in our mailbox on Saturday, Feb. 7- two weeks to the day. This is in spite of the lady at the post office telling us that because we didn't have his birth certificate it could come back not processed. Hello, his original passport was issued on a birth certificate and the old passport (not yet expired, just he turned 16 so it wouldn't be valid) is perfectly acceptable proof of citizen ship. Ok, rant over. Didn't pay anything special to hurry it along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was for regular processing (although we did pay for priority mail return of the passports). It actually came today. It was processed and made here in Vermont though so I'm sure that impacted the turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paigebeverly Posted February 27, 2015 #167 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The passport office received my application on Feb. 3rd...my husband received his 10 days later and I am still waiting on mine. We cruise on March 15th but luckily I have a birth cert. just in case. I know I took too long to get my passport really but I had to go through the whole name change thing...

lucymay519 Posted February 27, 2015 #168 Share Posted February 27, 2015 My husband and I both had to do renewals this year along with that I needed a name change. This only took 2 weeks. 10 years ago it would take longer and they advised us to do priority mail. So it has gotten faster over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rosie Posted February 27, 2015 #169 Share Posted February 27, 2015 We applied for our passports Feb. 10th and we got them on Feb. 27th. Our cruise is leaving 5-30-15 from Vancouver BC. Time to buy our plane tickets. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljw1127 Posted March 1, 2015 #170 Share Posted March 1, 2015 My DH and I applied on January 2. I received mine in 3 weeks, It is now March 1st and he still doesn't have his. We applied on his birthday at our local Clerk of Courts, and both of those are his problems....his license was due for renewal so the Clerk would not accept it, had me fill out an affidavit but forgot to send my ID with it. DH has been jumping thru hoops ever since. We don't leave till the end of May, and as of Friday they said the passport is being processed. Still won't tell us if they have enough documentations for him to be approved. We sent way more that asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paigebeverly Posted March 1, 2015 #171 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Mine is finally being mailed off. Said it will be here by the 7th...I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and complete my online check-in. So from the time I mailed it off and getting it will be a 5 week turn around.

ladybugbk Posted March 13, 2015 #175 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I sent in my application 2/2 and received my passport 14 days later. We just sent in hubby's yesterday, so I'm hoping the quick turnaround happens again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
