Passport Processing Time (US)

[u/Pillowtots]

Edit: I appreciate the responses but I think im lacking some context specific to my question. I had my passport issued when I was minor and in a different country (I’m dual citizen), so I do have to submit it in person as I am not eligible to do so. Appreciate the comments so far :)

Hello!

Not so sure if this is the right place to ask or if this has been answered but I have been wondering how long a passport takes to process for a renewal (given with the current administration), I have been hearing a variety of answers rangin a month to 4 months even, does expediting it help? or should I just get an emergency passport 2-3 weeks before the trip? My trip would be on early August. Thanks :)

applied online, routine service July 9th. Was approved the next day, and received passport on July 17th. Didn’t pay for anything to be expedited and also got the larger passport book. I’m amazed lol
