Has anyone applied for a passport/passport card renewal recently? I express mailed my regular/non rushed application last Tuesday and it was delivered on Wednesday. I see the money order was cashed on Friday, was curious to know when I should expect it. The website seems to indicate that current wait times are shorter than normal and instead of saying the regular 4-6 weeks it states 4 weeks or less...

I applied: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 - will update this when I get the new renewed passport (I also went ahead and got the passport card).
This was a renewal and I saw the check ($140.00) cleared this week.

Renewed 3 kids passports.
Dropped off at post office July 7.
Received 2 July 26 and the third one today July 29.
All were reissued the same day.
Made me nervous.
Regular renewal.

Feb 19 - Executed an in person application (form DS-11) for the renewal of a passport and the first time issuance of a passport card at a post office that is also a "passport acceptance facility." Paid the expedited service fee and an additional $14.85 to have the fresh passport sent via overnight mail.
Feb 24 - check cleared my bank
Feb 27 - found the application in the online tracking system.

Mar 5 - passport card arrived in mail.

Is there any reason you had to do it person? As long as you have a passport or a passport card that is valid or expired for less than5 years, you can apply for passport booklet and/or passport card by mail (DS-82). Just curious

As the OP, I'm gonna bump this one up.
I sent my passport book out for renewal, and decided to include my passport card as well, to get them on the same renewal date. This might also be the first passport card renewal experience.
Sent out regular service on 10/26/16.
Now we wait.

Update: New documents received on 11/15/2016
Total, 20 days. Not the worst considering there was one federal holiday in the middle.
