MtnDweller Posted October 30, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Our daughter and I sent in our passport applications last Monday. Checked their status today and they are in the final stage of processing. Says we should receive them on or by next Wednesday. We opted for regular service. Can't believe they are almost done already. WOO HOO! Let the planning begin. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted October 31, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) You just never know. If you need to get them in about 100 days, don't wait. Things slow down at holiday time and also then demand goes up after the holidays. Keith Edited October 31, 2015 by Keith1010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up having to send DW's back for a correction for a misspelling of her middle name so it was good that we had the extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnDweller Posted November 4, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hi, does the system actually give you updates like that? Mine still says we are processing -- ?? (I also had to send in additional info - travel in a month -- getting anxious) The updates do change. Just for giggles when I saw that my check was cashed I checked the status and it said that my application was received and it was pending. Fast forward to a the week and a half point (unbeknownst to me, it had already been processed and mailed). I checked it again and it said: "Thank you for submitting your application for a U.S. passport book! Your passport application is in the final processing stages. Your passport application locator number is XXXXXXXXX.When you applied, you requested Routine Service. This means you should receive your passport on or about 11/03/2015." When I received it, it had an issue date of 10/26/2015, so it really only took a week. I would call them if you have any concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruckerDave Posted November 5, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I am at the stage now where I just pay the extra for expedited service and send it both ways via ups or fedex so I can track it. (I just have to do renewal as I have had mine for over 20 years now.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorandtheGeek Posted November 8, 2015 #15 Share Posted November 8, 2015 This is good to hear as we leave in 195 days. I am really concerned about getting mine on time due to the sheer number of documents I am having to send with my application. I hope to apply for mine next Friday.

SMerritt Posted November 9, 2015 #16 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I would send in yours ASAP. Agree! You might need to acquire more documentation than you think Some Processing Centers are a lot slower/faster than others Rare: But mail, papers, forms, do get lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyBud Posted November 10, 2015 #17 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) FWIW, I did expedited service with overnight shipping each way and had my new passport back eight days from when I dropped my application at the Post Office. It was a renewal, and I had my old passport to send with my application. This was about a month ago. Edited November 10, 2015 by HeyBud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 10, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 10, 2015 We have never bothered with expedited service. We just make certain that when it is getting close to renewal -- like 6 months in advance -- we send them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
