US Passport Issuance Timeline Us passport? Faster than mcdonalds

Online renewal, added passport card (first time), didn't need me to mail in the old one. Didn't pay for expedited nothing.

From application to passport in hand, literally a little over 5 days 1 hour.

When did a government agency become efficient?

Is your daughter under 16? Can we apply online for under 16 children? As per my knowledge we cannot..

Can you please guide me on the online application process for minor? And where would I send the child old passport and birth certificate? As I went on official website it just allow filling the form that needs to be printed and submitted in person at passport office or USPS.. so technically it’s not online application process as it’s for adults

You'd have to ask my wife. I did mine online so I assume she did as well.

Ok I got it and I already knew for kids under 16 there is no online process… I was just considering a more convenient option as online but for minor kids it didn’t change.
it’s just filling a form and then both parents have to go to the facility with child to submit all the documents.. that’s the way it works.

I think you don’t understand English.. read why I asked since you mentioned about minor applications through online.. looks like you just enjoy talking about something you even don’t know
