Wow.
Sent renewal request on 8Feb, just got it at the door today, 17Feb. Used 'expedited' service. Best part was USPS bringing it to my door on a Saturday. |
Another renewal. Will update as things happen.
Regular adult renewal by mail, for a large passport book. .

Puzzled why you sent it to PA and not TX since you are in Washington state.

Looks like TX is only for: "I want routine service and I live in California, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, or Texas."

Was it an expedited service with express mail both directions?
I was surprised how fast it was. |

Updated my post. Standard service. Did not request expedited mail in either direction.

Expedited locator 35 Renewal, extended size book, with the addition of a new passport card:
2/26/2024 - Mailed via Priority Mail 2/28/2024 - Received in Philadelphia 3/1/2024 - In Progress in Charleston 3/4/2024 - Check cashed no updates in the interim, although there was a brief systems outage on 3/11 so it's possible an update got missed 3/11/2024 - Passport mailed 3/12/2024 - Arrival via Express Mail Not a bad turnaround, but definitely a day or two slower than what other people have been experiencing, particularly for 'expedited' service. Still worlds better than the situation last year, and I can't complain because they are still well under the promised 2-3 week turnaround. |
