Congrats! This is more like an expedited processing speed, not routine speed. What is your locator #?

A second passport in our family is tracking almost to the day as above. Expedited service, a check and Philadelphia locator. Dare I say it might be a good
time to renew? This one isn't up for renewal for a year but took advantage of what seems like favorably response time. Plus, it's not like we are going anywhere anytime soon..... |
Received the new style passport yesterday by Priority Mail. Total turnaround time from start to finish - 19 days.
Applied for Renewal using Routine service (did not pay extra for return shipping)

And yes, it's been a good time to apply as of late. And better to apply when not running up as much against the Spring/Easter breaks and then summer travel demand.

Hi. Ok. My bad for not realizing my passport was expired. Waited two weeks before flying to call to book same day appointment for renewal. Scored the only one available- but it’s for the same day I am set to fly out the night of.
Anyone have insights on how long process takes to walk out with a passport assuming all goes well? Any strategy to call to reschedule - they say people cancel and you can get one a cancellation. Thank you! Would love some thoughts. THANKS! |

THANKS! When I've used US Passport offices across the country during the FT era and had morning appointments for ordinary passports, I've been able to pick up the passports later the same day or the next (business) day. It still goes this way. This goes for my use of passport offices mainly in NYC, DC, Chicago, but also some other ones. I've seen it take as little as c. 2.5-4 hours, but that's not something I would want to build into my plans. And my suggestion is to look at the passport when picking it up to make sure the biodata information page is correct for you and that the rest of the book looks fine before walking off and out with the newly-issued passport. |

I live in Switzerland and my US passport is expiring this coming summer, I don't want to send it in as I may have to travel on short notice. Has anyone requested a second passport by going into an Embassy/Consulate in person, and then after receiving the second passport sent the original in for renewal. Is this possible?

..... at US embassies/consulates .... It’s not been unusual for me to hear ACS tell US citizens (or their parents) that State won’t cancel the applicant’s current, expiring US passport or their in-process-and-yet-to-be-issued renewal/additional passport in case the applicant needs to use their expiring US passport before the new passport arrives at station; and that the station is willing to return the expiring passport for use in the interim. In other words, there is some allowance in practice for a US passport renewal applicant to retain and use the expiring passport for most of the interim between application submission and renewal passport delivery to the applicant if there is a need for such. I saw this being done just a few months ago again at yet another one of our embassies.
