bajathree Posted January 29, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Don't have a time frame for you but I just recently saw it reported that you can now renew your passport online....finally!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg43 Posted January 29, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Had new first time passports delivered last week. Took just under 9 weeks from receipt on their end. 11/25 to 1/25. Consider also there were multiple holidays during this period. Advertised time was 6 to 9 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This option existed for many years… We did it in 2011 and 2020. You still need to send documents of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new online option (a pilot program) is different. You do not need to send documents. Your current passport becomes "cancelled" immediately when you submit online for renewal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even use a photo taken in your home as long as it follows their guidelines (white / off-white background, no shadows, etc.). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberMurmer Posted January 29, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Renewed online 11/27 and paid for expedited service...still don't have my passport and I leave in less than a month for my cruise...so that is my current experience with online passport renewal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wen_c82 Posted January 29, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2023 You can call or check status online. Promised time for expedited process is 3-5 weeks. I renewed my mom’s passport online 11/30 and received new passport first week in Jan. Paid both expedited fee and shipping. The passport card came in separately in regular mail a couple days later.

My online just says received and nothing else...so there is no message, email or letter. I am getting frustrated because I paid the extra money to expedite it to make sure I had it in plenty of time for our cruise (3 months should have been enough with expedited service) and I can't get any information other than I can call 2 weeks before my cruise and they can try to make an appt at a passport center...but no guarantee I will get it in time that way either.

Big_G Posted February 2, 2023 #16 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Saw several people on a similar thread saying expedited postal mail is faster than renewing it on-line. You can fill out the application here (Application) and then print it to mail. You must have Adobe Acrobat on your computer or other device.

Time to call your local Congressman and have them check out where your passport is. Congressional inquires get service much faster. Use them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
