Passport Renewal

[ravenrob]

My DW had to have her passport renewed before we leave on the Mariner in June. I renewed her passport by mail and sent it in on or about January 25. I kept checking the US Passport Service website to see when her new one would arrive. The website never reported her passport as being processed when I knew they were processing it because my check was cashed about a month ago. I finally sent them an e-mail last week to inquire on the status of it and they replied that it was being processed. They also said to check back later.

 

Low and behold, guess what showed up in our mailbox this afternoon??? You guessed it. Her new passport. Another fine display of our government at its best.

 

I am waiting for my DD and DS's passports next. I did theirs right before this fine government changed the deadline to next year. I am not even going to check the website because I have no faith in this terrible Passport system.

they are swamped with the new deadline that just passed for flying of Jan 23, 2007. Unfortunately the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. New passports are taking 10+ weeks to complete

 

Congrats on getting the wife's though!!!

I was at the passport office yesterday to renew passports and the estimated turnaround time is approximately 12-14 weeks.
