| Based on my husband's experience this past winter (expedited everything, 3+ month wait), I submitted my renewal for this year's spring trip on 09/13 via priority mail and expedited everything. I was absolutely SHOCKED to have it arrive 09/28. I almost fell out of my chair with the two week turnaround. Unbelievable especially considering the fiasco from this past winter/spring. |

| For the kids passports recently, it was exactly 5 weeks from the appointment to having the new passports on hand. End of August to early October. We did expedite. |

We submitted DS's on August 5 at the post office and received it back September 29. I was excited to get it back before the government was going to shut down, though we're not traveling til December so it likely wouldn't have made a difference.
That was not expedited. Almost exactly 8 weeks. The State Department is processing things quicker and just lowered their turnaround time estimates. |

OP here.
Submitted at post office on 9/5, received 2 of 3 back on 10/25. Non-expedited. 7 weeks exactly. The third (twin sibling to one of the one's received) is still processing. |

| Submitted the first week of July. Did not expedite. Got kids back in just under 6 weeks. Got mine back in just under 8 weeks. In-laws and parents both submitted theirs (regular not expedited) during the summer (August and September) and got them back in less than 8 weeks. Except for the kids, because they have to be classified me as new passports, everybody else’s were renewals. |

| Processing time on the website are 8 to 11 weeks routine and 5 to 7 weeks expedited. But I wouldn't be surprised if a government shutdown on Nov 17 makes it longer. |

The process does not run itself. It is not a store where you can get paid with the money in the cash register. You shave no idea how government works. |
