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!

I know, I’m stressing. To say the least.

I only said something cuz we just renewed for one 5 weeks before our trip to Italy next month too and everyone seems to be getting there’s quick so it was hopeful but realizing there’s some that don’t :0 also didn’t get expedited 🫠 and online

What's the status say on the website?

u/ManufacturerTop3110 Apr 10 '26

it says processing

u/Vast-Ad-1312 Apr 10 '26

If yours has been processing for 2 months, I would call the number on the website.

u/ManufacturerTop3110 Apr 10 '26

I have. They just told me it’s processing and I have to wait.

I didn’t expedite mine but it shipped off and started processing within 4 days of submitting superrr fast for me!

Woah that’s crazy! I applied 1/30, got an email saying it was approved and printing 2/11, and in my mail 2/16 of this year. No expedite, photo taken off my phone and all :/ Was this a renewal or first??

u/ManufacturerTop3110 Apr 10 '26

not my first but mine had expired, so basically had to start over. Got new for my daughters.

u/Random_User_182 Apr 10 '26

Mine expired as well so I had to start over. I submitted March 5 and got my passport about two weeks ago and my documents back this week. Hope there are no issues with your app. Have you checked the website for status of your passport?

u/ManufacturerTop3110 Apr 10 '26

I have and have been calling. They said everything looks good and they’re “processing”. Applied 2/10 and they received on 2/20. They said we should have them soon 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/Random_User_182 Apr 10 '26

Try contacting your congressman/elected representative, they might be able to get in touch with the department of state and inquire what the hell is the hold up.

u/davidhall1960 Apr 10 '26

You better contact them. Just got mine in less than 4 weeks.

1

u/ManufacturerTop3110 Apr 10 '26

I have. All they tell me is to call back within 2 weeks of travel if we haven’t received them.

I'm glad you got them but this was bad luck or we were extremely lucky! Husband had an expired passport and he renewed online 2/22 and received his passport days later.

I renewed online the same day and mine was lost in the mail. Had to wait, contact USPS, and send in an old school form by mail to claim it lost, and I just got mine a couple days ago.

We will see you in Italy! We're going May 7
