I sent my passport in to be renewed in mid June. Just checked the other day and they said they started work on June 27th, but to allow 20 business days from then.

I had not asked for expedited renewal, as the agent at the post office said the turn around was quick. The passport agent on the phone told me it was running around 7 weeks!

How long have all of yours been taking? I had hoped to make a trip abroad quickly, but do not have a ticket, so I could not visit the agency in person for immediate renewal.

I am now out of town. Will they mail the passport elsewhere, or will that just raise flags?

Thanks in advance!
