Yep, mailed separately, and sent first-class mail even if the passport book was sent priority mail express.

The new passport's expiration date will be 10 years from date of issue regardless of the prior passport's expiration date, so in your case May/June.
I renewed my driver's license 6 months early and the new DL is valid for 4 1/2 years instead of the normal 4 years. They kept the month expiration the same Oct even tho i renewed 6 mo early in May.
So your state's licenses don't automatically use your birthdate as the expiration date? I wonder what percentage do and don't.
