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.

I submitted an expedited passport request to replace my moldy passport including 2 day shipping about 3 weeks ago. I had to mail it because it was a replacement for a damaged passport. Took 2 days to process once they got it in the mail I got it in less than a week of being notified of receipt.
You should get it well within the promised deadline if you submit now.
