The passport card arrived today, 9 days after I received the passport book. It has the same issue and expiration dates as the passport book. The return address is the New Orleans Passport Agency's.

Issue Date - August 4
Accepted by USPS - August 7
Received new - August 9

67 days from dropping off at the Post Office to home delivery, just shy of the promised 10-13 weeks.

(old passport pending)

First 2 digits are 45. That's not on the How To list, but "National Passport Center' on the linked site - Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Return address is Portsmouth, NH, but USPS tracking originated in Tucson, AZ

Pretty rapid, congrats!

Three Questions
 
Is there a lag between when an app is received at a passport agency and when it appears in the system? In other words, if the app is received August 1, will the system show it on August 1? Or possibly days later?

On what date did it first appear in the online tracking system? Thanks!

Renewed my passport and chose expedited

Mailed to Philadelphia - June 2
Received - June 5
Processing - June 13
Approved - July 7
Mailed - July 7
Received - July 11

Website status never changed after it became Approved (I got the mail date from the USPS envelope) and like others I never received an email at any point.



Is “Processing” the date it first appeared in the online tracking system? Thanks!

Passport interview - i have a US passport which expired a few days ago. I am leaving the USA in 2 weeks, but in 7 days i have an inperson appt at the US passport agency in chicago. How long does it take to get a passport once i have that interview?

It should be ready the same day.

As I wait for ours (8 weeks and counting), it LOOKS like the online renewal MIGHT be coming back.
The "Renew Passport Online" tile in MyTravelGov is missing (it was there - in addition to the CRBA one - until today), and, this is new...

Quick update
 
Mailed renewal end of July expedited with priority mail
Received processed and check cashed around Aug 2
Most recent update shows supporting documents have been mailed as of today. I must have missed the passport being mailed update unless it comes after but so far about 3 weeks all together. I was expecting end of September so if I get it this week I'll be surprised.

It shows up in the online portal the day before my check cleared my account. Aug 2 for online tracking, Aug 3 money left my account.

For in-person applications at the passport agency in Chicago — which is the closest US passport agency office for me this week — it’s been same-day or next day pick-ups this year and for many prior years too.

At time of handing in the application at this location, inform them at the counters that you need same-day pick-up — otherwise the Chicago passport agency office may try to tell you it will be ready the next (business) day for pick-up instead and then they may not have it ready the same-day for same-day pick-up.
