FSUSammy Posted March 3, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi everyone! If you got a brand new (not a renewal) passport recently how long did it take from the time of applying? We applied for DS's first passport last Wednesday and they told me anywhere from 4-8 weeks. Of course I'm hoping for a lot sooner I didn't rush it because at this time we don't have any definite cruise plans. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 2 and a half weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinkrbell Posted March 3, 2008 #7 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I got one for my daughter last year and it took all of 4 months. It sounds like maybe the process is a lot faster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twopugs Posted March 4, 2008 #11 Share Posted March 4, 2008 FSUsammy, We got DS's passport 3 weeks after we applied. The new passports have an orange tint to them...looks a little odd. Also, are you on the nest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieastrosfan Posted March 4, 2008 #12 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Applied for DS's on 2/7/08, and received it on the 19th - 12 days later. All on standard processing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat89447 Posted March 4, 2008 #13 Share Posted March 4, 2008 My DH, DD and I got ours in about 2 1/2 weeks and we are in rural NV. Our original documents arrived sep. a day or two later. (they don't tell u this so we panicked when we got the pp first). We did regular speed. Warning though, the closer to summer the longer they take.

carribeansol Posted March 4, 2008 #14 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Applied in January took 2 weeks with regular service. Ours do not have an orange tint.

excitedcruzr Posted March 4, 2008 #18 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I applied for my passport during the second week of January, and I received it within 2-3 weeks. The DMV told me it'd be 6-8. I was at the post office a few hours before I went to the DMV and asked them about it. They said they had been hearing of people receiving theirs within 3-4, so I wasn't too worried.

If you go to the passport website you can track it, but it can take 7-10 days to show up. They also have contact info so you can have them look into it. They will make you wait a certain period of time before they will run a search. Email contact response time is usually faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegotogirl Posted March 5, 2008 #21 Share Posted March 5, 2008 We applied in early Dec and we thought it would take a long time to get them as it was almost vacation time, but we got ours in less than 3 weeks. Funny though....our son who goes to school in Syracuse got his processed there, and his came in less than 2 weeks. They seem to have the time issue under control.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
