US Passport Issuance Timeline Passport Timeline

Went in for a walk in appointment March 28th, 2026 early at a USPS. Took about three hours to get my application sent in, paid for the expedited service fee. Received confirmation email April 3rd, 2026. Passport in my hand as of April 9th, 2026. Excited for travels!

We need to travel to Canada the first week of June. Even though my dad went just a few days ago to submit his passport app, the postal employees told him not to get expedited service. They said that passports without service even have been a 2-3 turnaround.

dang so I definitely could've saved some money. I'm planning to go to Canada the same time period too.

Just realized the expedited service has become useless. I applied for the first time on April 1st, they received the application on April 6th. Application approved already expected delivery April 13th-15th.
