I am wondering if first time applications and/or applications that must be made in person are sent to processing centers with faster processing times. It seems all a bit random. I do know I'm very grateful I renewed my passport last year, so at least I don't need to worry about mine.
When you get the Shipped email, it will have a USPS tracking number. USPS site will indicate where the package was Accepted into the system. Mine was at Hot Springs, AR. So I presume it was printed at the Arkansas Passport Center. Interested to see if other Passport Centers are processing just as quickly.
