All of the FT posts on this topic seems to be several years old and none contain recommendations so...

My next "scheduled" international trip is 8 weeks out - Mid-August. At that time my passport will be over 9.5 years old. Just got back from an international conference and one of the hot topics was the length of time it takes for passport renewal. The consensus was that 8 weeks was cutting it too close.

Everyone recommended using an expediter, but the choices seem to be location dependent. I am in Orlando.

Looking for recommendations. Who did you use? Would you use them again?
