2/23: prepared renewal application for card and book online
2/24: sent via USPS priority mail to Irving, TX 2/27: USPS indicates delivered 3/03: Application 'In Process' 3/03: Check cashed Update: 3/11: called and talked to a rep around 10 pm ET. Upgraded to expedited service ($60 charge). Was told my application was being processed in NH and with expedited service it could be processed in 20 business days.. Asked for a travel date multiple times but I don't have one. They seem to indicate that they could try to accommodate any upcoming travel. Declined to upgrade to faster mailing once issued. 3/12: 12 AM received email that application was received and I selected regular service . . . noted 10-12 weeks. 3/12: Status checker changed later that day to note expedited service and 4-6 weeks. 3/13: woke up to email from a little after midnight with tracking info. I should receive by 3/20. Status checker says same. 3/17: Passport book arrived |
Congrats

3/17: Passport book arrived |
I received an hour ago the approval email.
This is my timeline, unfortunately perhaps not very useful to anyone anymore, due to my mistake on the passport photo size. 12/30: Applied for a renewal for a 5 year old, at the US Post office, not expedited. 1/5: Request received according to online tracker. 2/9: "Processing" email received. 3/2: Received letter dated February 11th and mailed February 22nd about the incorrect size of the passport picture. 3/3: Sent correctly sized picture via regular mail to the Houston Agency at an address in Sterling, VA. 3/18: "Approval" email received. |

I mailed my passport renewal from NYC to PA for expedited delivery. Mailed on 2/25 USPS priority mail. Was supposed to be received on March 2, but it's been saying "delayed in transit" ever since. I filed a case with USPS but no response yet. As of today, 3/16, No status on the website and no checks cashed.
Does USPS sometimes not scan it in in? Is it lost? |
No bueno

I received two emails late Friday night. The first was received around 9 pm MDT saying my application was approved and my passport was being made. A couple of hours later a second email informed me that it had shipped that day and that I should receive by 3/27.
Odd timing. I don’t think there’s really a crew slaving away in the “passport factory” through a Friday night. :rolleyes: |
Have the USA updated their passport? Is the new passport like this?

A friend just texted me he has an appointment tomorrow morning in Miami for a rush Passport
he won't be able to make it, pm me if interested [MENTION=112383]MoD[/MENTION]s hope this isn't against any rules. |
Still waiting
I contacted my Senator Michael Bennett here in Colorado. They just called me 10 min ago. Super nice people. I sent mine expedited and it's been processing since Feb 25th. They told me the passport agency is really good about processing it right away when they contact them. I told them we leave in 1 week. Was told I should be fine. I'll let ya all know.

Question for everyone here: I have two US passports, one passport that expired in 2019 that had a 10 year validity, and another that expires in July that was issued by the State Department (frequent traveler) in 2017 for four years.
I can't get a conclusive answer as to which passport I submit for the renewal on the DS-82. Calling in doesn't get me a clear answer. I was first told that I need to submit my limited validity passport, and then was told on the same call at the end that it's the expired passport. |

Applied for kids and adults renewals on 3/4
Kids were sent by the post office and we mailed ours the same day. Our passports renewals were delivered in Philly on Sunday 3/7 at 4:20 PM. Kids showed up and are Processing on Tuesday with a received date of 3/15 Our's are nowhere to be found. All I need is for them to scan and show them as received. Anyone else renewing in Philly have this issue. The passport applications went from Charlotte, NC to PA |

Renewal sent in for expedited processing, mailed overnight 3/16 to Philly which per the post office really meant two days. Delivered 3/18, shows received and processing in system as of 3/19. Now to see how long it actually takes to renew.
