We renewed 5 passports on September 25. I think it took about 5- 6 weeks. A lot faster than I was expecting.

Applied around Aug 15. Expedited but I asked for passport card and extra pages. Received about 5 weeks later--not sure exactly, but well in time for an Oct 2 trip.

OP again. These are all renewals (2 batches entailing 5 different family members).

Applied early September. Did not expedite anything. 7 weeks.
Applied early October. Expedited everything due to fear of a shutdown. 4 weeks.

4-5 weeks for me, applied in late September. This was for two new passports.

They received the passport renewal application via USPS Sept 7. I received the passport in the mail Sept 21. Selected expedited processing and paid for expedited shipping.

Note: I did call the passport center a few times indicating I was traveling the week of Sept 24. They apparently flagged as urgent. I also contacted my senator’s office, but I don’t think his office did anything.

PP here.

10/27: Approved
11/1: Est. Date of Receipt

So just about 7 weeks for routine (not expedited) processing. Straightforward renewal with my prior passport having just expired in March.

Between August and Christmas applications move quickly. They slow down because of volume from January onwards.
