I applied for a new passport this week. It was delivered on Monday morning and is already in the State Dept system.
Has anyone renewed passports recently? How long did it take? I have just asked for standard service; the website says 4-6 weeks but I seem to remember a lot of people saying that the site always says that, but they got their passports back in 2-3 weeks.
Thoughts?
The 4-6 weeks is to give them wiggle room. It should be 2-3 weeks in general. Of course, if you're leaving within 2 weeks, you can always go down and get your passport same day or next day....
