That's awesome dealhunter! I know you might second guess the expedited cost but I would be glad it got renewed so quickly

This is for Regular Renewal Service

6/18/18: Mailed DS-82 via Priority Mail
6/20/18: Delivered to US Passport Processing Center (TX)
6/21/18: Email received saying my passport being processed
6/22/18: check cleared
7/2/18: Email "Finished processing passport and it as been printed"
7/2/18: Email with tracking number "Expect delivery on or before 7/08/18"
7/5/18: Passport delivered

If 7/4 were not a Postal holiday you might even have gotten it a day earlier.:D

I took the data from the visajourney 2018 passport first time applications list, using only 18 records which had received their passport books. This from date of sending off the DS-11 using "Routine Service".

• Average: 20 days
• Median: 17 days
• Min: 11 days
• Max: 42 days

I could do a 1st, 2nd quartile but don't have the data in front of me, I didn't this earlier to figure out my own passport processing times.

Passport Card renewal (routine)

05/29/2018: Mailed DS-82 using USPS First Class
05/31/2018: Delivered
06/04/2018: Application info was entered in the system [email]
06/07/2018: Final processing stages [email]
06/07/2018: Passport printed [email]
06/12/2018: Received the new passport card
06/18/2018: Received my unexpired passport book and old passport card in one envelope
-----------------
New passport card wait: 14 days
Unexpired passport book wait: 20 days

My old passport card had the back layer pealed off, so it became unusable; hence, I renewed it. When I got it back, I noticed that they did not clip a corner put any holes in it. I guess they figured it was already damaged enough :)

[QUOTE=nocheapshots;30103191Anybody successfully apply for and get a passport renewal since the first week of August?[/QUOTE]

The date of issue on my passport is one day after that of my N-550.
Hope i didn't exceed the speed limit driving from the naturaliation ceremony to the passport agency :rolleyes:
Oh, and of course international travel a few days later and scheduled appointment.

I would bet that passport agencies will stop being this useful. From what i understand, when starting in 2019 we will get polcycarbonate, they will not print the passport locally anymore but need to ship them from those central print center(s?) they already use for the passport cards. More security theater.

if 7/4(Independence Day) were not a Postal holiday, we would probably
all be holding British passports? :) (not that there's anything wrong with it)

perhaps he was thinking about "US Passport, The Next Generation" which will probably be produced on a distant planet in a different system?

but on a more serious note, I was speaking with a supervisor at the passport agency regarding my recent passport that had the wrong place of birth printed.... I asked about the next gen passport and she said they "just started getting real" but not expected until spring of 2019. :( :( :(
