Section 107. What GU writes is the situation as it has been for way over a decade now, and as I (and others) have written these are generally done within 2 weeks, although as I have referenced in this thread I know of these being turned around in 4 days in recent times.
So jeepzy, you can ignore section 107's comments as they are at least a decade out of date and are of little or no help to you.

Regarding the rest of your question, I have no idea where you are flying from to get to Australia, nor what you mean by connection. If you are solely connecting, i.e. not going land side you would not have any problems doing so from the rational connecting countries that I listed above (Singapore, Malaysia, UAE or Turkey) Others are silly......you going to connect through Russia right now? You really going to connect through China (although you could), Myanmar an option you looking at? |

Following up my post #2338. New passport for infant, expedited processing, international travel commencing 4/25.
Submitted in-person at USPS 3/3 "Received" by State Department 3/7 Check cashed / In Process 3/8 Approved 4/3 Waiting on print and shipment. The date we can expect to receive the new passport has rolled forward and seems to do so each day that it sits in "approved" status. I submitted apps for two minor kids at USPS 3/6 (expedited) "Received" by State Department 3/13 Checks cashed on the same day - 3/13 The status has been "In Process" ever since My locator # starts 62. Since I submitted the app, the processing time on travel.state.gov changed from 5-7 weeks to 7-9 weeks. You mentioned your locator is 69. I suppose different locators have different processing times? Is 62 bad? |

I had to renew my passport as it was expiring later this year. I just missed the online submittal option as it was shut down while I was on holiday in England. On return home, I sent the renewal application in.
3/16: Mailed passport renewal by first class mail, paid for expedited service 3/21: Check cashed (according to my bank) 4/7: Online status page showed as "Approved" 4/10: Passport entered US Mail with tracking number 4/12: Arrived (they sent it by Priority Mail) Locator number: 42 (New Orleans) I was very pleased with the turnaround time, particularly with the now stated 7-9 weeks processing for expedited service. |

I think that the processing time effective as of your submission is the one that is in effect for your application, though it seems that in many cases they're having trouble hitting those times regardless. Others can weigh in here.
I have absolutely no idea. All I know (from the wiki) is that 69 is Portsmouth, NH, while 62 is Tucson. |
When talking about the locator # being 69, 62, 42, etc, are you guys referring to the first 2 digits?

April 17th - deposited expedited US passport application at USPS for a child with priority express mailing.
April 21st - application delivered in Philadelphia (one day late). April 23rd - application appears as "in process" online. "The U.S. Department of State has received your application for your passport book on 04/22/2021, etc." April 28th - "in process" email received. May 13th - "application approved" email received. The online status must also changed recently (it was still showing in process earlier this morning). "You should receive your passport book on or around 05/16/2021." "Shipped" email received about two hours later. Edit: May 15th - passport received from Tucson in Priority Express mailing. It's the old model passport and the date of issue is May 12th. May 22nd - received birth certificate back. The letter was postmarked on May 17th. Finis. March 17th - deposited two normal US passport applications at USPS for children. Renewals. One of them has a request for an endorsement - let's see if that delays it. March 24th - first cheque cashed. March 27th - second cheque cashed (electronically). Both are showing as "in process" since March 24th, apparently being dealt with in Buffalo. No emails received despite requesting them. Alex |
I got my online renewal passport book today. applied on last day of online renewal on around FEB 4th, not expedited application.
I am surprised by the new look and feel of the new passport book. but I have questions. I applied for the LARGE passport and supposed to have 52 pages? But mine is 50 pages including front and back of each page . The actual visa page starts from page 8 so actual page is 42 pages. In the last page, there is a divider, like a very thick paper. It looks like someone tored the last page and looks like altered to be honestly and i am worried about foreign immigration agents grilling me about this. In my old passport , I had extra pages added when they allowed this and it had a large tape and I was asked about why there is a tape at two foreign countries. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...884ad45e6d.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3ba4da6284.jpg |
This is normal with "next generation" passports that have a hard plastic ID page. My Irish passport is the same.
