Jimbo Posted June 30, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Still waiting for mine, I did not pay the extra $60, they received mine in Philadelphia on June 9th. Which office did you send yours to? The U.S. Department of State has received your application for your passport book on 06/09/2022. We're now reviewing your application and supporting documents. You requested routine service when you applied. Routine service can take 8-11 weeks. Our processing times begin the day we receive your application at a passport agency or center, not the day you mail your application or apply at a local acceptance facility.

I sent mine to Philadelphia but they farm them out from there. Mine got processed at Charleston. I didn't know that until I started looking at FP pages. When they give you a locator number the first 2 digits give you the location. Mine was 34. You would have to google or search FB to find out which numbers go to which processing centers. Although not really needed the timing worked for me. Got mine Tuesday and I sail Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious as to where mine is being processed. Couldn't get google to bring up any useful info. Do you have link to share? My processing center is 42 in case you know where that is 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seasidemama Posted July 1, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 1, 2022 @molly361 thanks so much! How my application ended up in New Orleans is beyond me. I submitted this in NYC...🤪 I hope they work quickly. It's been 3.5 weeks since they received it and still processing. I did pay the $60 to expedite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rudeney Posted July 3, 2022 #15 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I still can't believe our renewals made it out and back in 13 days. That was back in March/April. I did not pay for expedited service, but I did sent them out via Priority Mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucechase Posted July 26, 2022 #21 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Just to add to this. I sent mine out June 6th and received it July 14. I did not pay for expediting and mailed it in a regular envelope. 5 weeks. I sent my daughter's (who is 25) out on June 14 and she got hers back on July 6. No expedited fees and sent it in a regular envelope. 3 weeks I must be the sketchy one in the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wineaux007 Posted August 11, 2022 #22 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I mailed in my wife's passport renewal, expedite service, on July 21st. Passport Office received it on July 24th. Just got an email today saying renewed passport book is in the mail and should be received by August 12th. I just sent it in expedite service because we needed a new one for a late October 2022 Italian cruise. I was worried I wouldn't get it back in time if I mailed it without expedite service. I'm just wondering if it was just a wasted $60 for expedite service since turnaround time was within 5-7 weeks. Actually got it in 3 weeks.

stjohnbeachlover Posted August 11, 2022 #23 Share Posted August 11, 2022 My husband sent his passport renewal in the end of June for regular processing. We found out two weeks later that he was $10 short on the fee so he resent it with additional funds plus $60 for expedited processing on July 19. Three weeks later his check for the additional money sent in still hasn't been cashed and still no updates to his account. We cruise in 4 weeks. We are starting to get nervous.
