I sent renewal application for both passport book(about to expire) and passport card(expired last year)
3/19 USPS delivered my renewal application to the Philly passport processing center
3/19 State Dept passport status website shows that they received the application
no updates...
4/06
passport card showed up in my mailbox today
still no updates on the status page... so I guess they are just not updating it for now?
