Here's my situation:
Jan 21st - usps appointment 1st time application for my baby - I'm in California and my application went to Philly Jan 29th - In process Feb 16th - contacted state rep at 11am, filled out privacy form and sent back at 2pm Feb 17th - didn't receive any email from the state rep letting me know if they received my form or what, so I called their office and they told that they had already sent my request to the passport agency Today is feb 19th and nothing has changed, status is still in process I'm traveling internationally on March 3rd, I'll be moving to Brazil, and my job there starts on March 8th on Feb 23rd I have an important appointment at a brazilian consulate to naturalize my daughter and I'll need her birth certificate, but it's with her passport application, I'm very desperate, and the kicker - according to brazilian law I can only naturalize her in the country where she was born, or in brazil when she turns 18, awesome |

Who knows how many mail trucks have been delayed, smashed up, skidded off highways, or another of other potential travel maladies in the past week.

It is not likely that get the birth certificate on time. The send the new passport first then a few days after they send the birth certificate and any other supporting documents. I would recommend applying for an expedited birth certificate if your baby was born in the US.

Yes, I thought of that as well, and I ordered 2 extra copies of her birth certificate but their website states that it may take up to 6 weeks, so that was a dead end, I thought getting the state rep's help would speed things up but it made no difference so far

Ouch. Is in-person not an option?

Los Angeles Passport Agency (state.gov). There are regional passport agencies and this is in Los Angeles. Go to Los Angeles Passport Agency webpage and there are specific instructions and a number for you to call. Good luck.

I had to send in a DS-86 form that was received on February 18th and they called me today the 19th.They said i should expect a new one sent out in a week via UPS. I'm hoping that since they called me that they are going to turn my non- receipt passport around fairly quick and issue me another one.

Passport steps
I know the times can change from month to month, but just as a ballpark figure. How long did your passport take from the "accepted" step, to the "Mailed" step? I'm Expedited, and reside in Wisconsin.
Thanks, - Steve |
Dec 17th - Mailed expedited Renewal
Jan 27th - State department received application (USPS Lost it for awhile) Feb 17th - Approved Feb 22nd - Scheduled for Delivery |
Overnight delivery
Just out of curiosity, I received an email that my son’s passport was approved ( Saturday at 10 pm). Does this mean it was approved Friday? And how do they ship it if I requested expedited shipping? USPS or UPS? Thanks
