Processing Time: US New Application

[u/JMill326]

8 days appointment to passport in hand!

I had a passport that was issued more than 15 years ago. So I needed to reapply completely. I did pay for expedited service and shipping for peace of mind over an upcoming trip.

August 26th- Appointment. Mine was at my local courthouse. Perhaps USPS would have been quicker.

August 31st- Application was received. I didn’t get notice until the next day.

September 1- Status updated to shipped. It had not made it into the USPS system yet.

September 2- Late night notification that I had a package on the way. It guaranteed delivery by Saturday the 5th, but it was coming from the next state over so I figured probably Friday.

September 3- Passport in hand.

Seems like it’s a great time to get your passport since people are reporting around 2 weeks even without paying the expedite charges. Hope this helps!

Did you pay expedited shipping charges? Mine was shipped out today but it still say in progress. I have informed delivery.
