I applied for my kids at USPS in Illinois on 2/28. I paid for expedited. The website says they should arrive tomorrow. So just about two weeks total.

Typically the supporting docs (birth certificate etc) are mailed back first, and the passport follows very soon after.

Agree. I do remember getting the old one first and wondering where the new one was. It came shortly after.

It's really amazing how people can just make these statements with zero evidence to back them up. I guess it's the world that has been wrought.

I thought that Elon is fast-passing only Mars passports so if you want a regular one you are SOL.

That is a good sign, if memory serves.

They mail them separately. No clue why but you get the old passport separately.

Oh and I paid for expedited.

3 weeks ago yesterday we applied for my kid to get her passport (she has previously had a passport but kids applications are new applications). Since it hadn't arrived I checked online and saw this as the status "Application Status: Supporting Documents Mailed" and it indicates it was mailed 3/4. Does this mean that the passport was mailed and supporting documents are on their way too? Or does it mean something else?
