Fathom5 Posted June 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2017 My wife received her newly renewed passport today (6/29/17). The application was mailed on 6/16/17 via USPS Priority Mail, with routine processing requested. I was impressed with the quick turnaround time. I don't know if this is typical or not, but here's a data point if anyone is interested. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiNole Posted June 29, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2017 We applied for an expedited passport for our son (aged 16, so his first adult passport) on 6/5 and received it on 6/23. I did have to wait nearly a month for the appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom_boom Posted June 29, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2017 My wife got hers roughly 1 week after she was notified her renewal application had been received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thephillykid Posted June 29, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I took mine to the post office on tuesday and I was told to expect 4-6 weeks turn around time. I would be really impressed if i got it back sooner than 4 weeks. We travel the end of October and not in a hurry any way. It expired this coming december if it matters.

Oville Posted June 30, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 30, 2017 We did it last summer and it took 10 days or less. Oddly they weren't processed together so one has a July 31 date and the other August 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper106 Posted June 30, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 30, 2017 In Canada,10 days turnaround it about average even if you go directly to the passport office rather than use the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonJasmine Posted June 30, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 30, 2017 My passport expired years ago so I've been using my birth certificate instead. Since we are cruising to South America in January 2019, I decided to get a new one. My library ordered it for me saying it would arrive in 4-6 weeks. I was amazed to get it less than 3 weeks later. They still haven't returned my birth certificate yet though. Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still haven't returned my birth certificate yet though. Is that normal? Completely normal. They do not mail the birth certificate back in the same envelope with the new passport. I think my son's old passport and birth certificate arrived 2 days after his new passport (which was sent overnight - expedited - as we leave for our cruise in 3 weeks).

cruiseri Posted June 30, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Submitted my expiring passport and my wife's via priority mail on May 6th, I got mine back in maybe 8 days; my wife received hers about 4 weeks later. Who knows why???? SAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rucruisn2 Posted July 2, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Mailed my husband's passport renewal in March. After I mailed it I noticed that if you wear glasses you need to remove them for your photo. My husband's photo had his glasses on. I really sweated about what would happen. 2 weeks later the new passport arrived with his glasses on.

Luvcrusn Posted July 14, 2017 #16 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I sent my passport renewal off via priority mail, standard processing requested on June 14. I asked for both the book and a card. I received the new passport on June 26 and the old passport and the card arrived on June 29th in two more separate mailings. Interestingly, although I mailed the renewal to Philadelphia, PA, the new passport for me was mailed and issued from Charleston, SC and DH's passport, although mailed to Philadelphia, PA was mailed and issued from Portsmouth, NH. That also may account for the time difference in receiving them. Apparently, the Philadelphia office receives the applications and distributes them to various offices around the country for processing depending on workload. We live in the suburban Philadelphia area BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merriem Posted July 14, 2017 #17 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I needed mine renewed. Used the expedited process and had it back in a week. I was surprised that I could get a new picture at Walmart for $7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted July 14, 2017 #18 Share Posted July 14, 2017 We just got ours back. It took about 3 weeks. One thing that we noticed was that the new renewal is from the time it was issued and not 10 years from the expiration date on our old one. We are cheated out of 6 months. 🤔 🤑 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashmarie06 Posted July 15, 2017 #21 Share Posted July 15, 2017 My fiancé had a renewal and it took a week to receive it once they cashed the check. Mine was a new request and it took two weeks.

Purplsmurf Posted July 26, 2017 #25 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Mine expires in December and I decided to get global entry so expedited the renewal. I sent it in last Thursday priority mail. When I track it is shows that it's still at the post office since yesterday morning so who really knows where it is? We are sailing in September so hopefully I can get it back quick, apply for global entry and get my interview before then!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
