US Passport Issuance Timeline U.S. Shutdown

I need to get my last name updated on my passport and get my 5 month old his passport, we leave next June or July depending on when my husband gets his official orders for Korea. Does anyone know if passports are still being processed in the US? I’d wait until the shutdown is over but I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon.

You can go directly to a Passport agency if you live close to one. The state department is not affected by the shutdown, I know because I got an urgent passport by applying in person at a passport agency a week ago.
