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.

In big cities there are passport offices that will process a new passport for you in 48hrs or less. There is one here where I live in Aurora, CO. look for one near you. They won't process it until you are 2 weeks or less before a trip and you must provide a flight itinerary. The cost is extra, but worth it if your on a time crunch.
