Old cancelled passport arrived today, January 23.

New Passport
 

I'm here in AZ. Went down to the county clerks office and filled for new first time passport 16+ with standard processing on 1/16. Havent gotten any notification that it's been received. I'm leaving to Brazil on 2/23 and still need to get my visa once I get my passport. What do you guys think are my chances of getting it on it before 2/15?

you could call the clerk and ask if they know how long first issues take. my first one 10 years ago took about 6 weeks.

I'm surprised you did not overnight/expedite. This seems like a very tight turn around.

Interestingly, I don't know exactly when it was received in Philadelphia - to this day the tracking info still states it is 'delayed, but still in transit'. It had me quite worried but I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the check was cashed, and State Dept had a locator number for my application.

Thanks to everyone for posting on this, btw -- very helpful.

Anyone know if the Washington DC passport office takes walk-ins for emergency processing?

It's Sunday March 3, earliest appointment per the automated system is 0830 March 7, but we have a death emergency requiring travel March 4 evening. Could we show up Monday morning with all docs in hand and get a passport same day? Or do they release some same-day appointments first thing in the morning?

Not sure about the automated phone number but the online booking tool is showing reservations for tomorrow AM. There is also a different link on how emergencies are handled which seems to have access to a number for live person starting at 8am tomorrow. I am sure you won't have to wait until the 7th.

*****UPDATE

I received my passport, but I never got a shipment notice or tracking number, and even more odd, the online status still shows my application "is in the final processing stages." Strange! Just relieved it got here though, as my trip is coming up.

Oh man I wish I had found this sooner. I just mailed my passport today for renewal, not expedited.

Mailed - 3/11
Estimated delivery 3/14

My trip is on 4/12. Maybe I should have expedited it.

Freaking out.

Hope you get it in time for your trip

You should get a passport application locator number in a couple of days. You can find it here. Contact the National Passport Information Center as soon as you get that number and you should be able to change your application to an expedited one.

I mailed my application on 2/16. I have a locator number but nothing else has happened yet. :)

Thanks so much for the info.

Do you think since I put the date of my trip on the application, that I can get it fast enough without the expedited? I'm surprised that you have sent yours weeks ago and haven't had anything processed yet. :(

Judging by recent history in this thread, I think you're cutting it really close for standard processing. I don't know whether they bump applications up based on the trip date, but I wouldn't count on that happening.

You should be able to get your application switched to expedited handling and receive it with time to spare.

Feb 16: mailed passport first class.
Feb 21: online status shows passport received at center and processing.
March 13, 1:01 AM: "We have finished processing your passport, and it has been printed."
March 13, 2:47 AM: "Your tracking number is nnnnn and the expected date of delivery is 03/18/2019."

Will post again when the passport arrives.

20 days not expedited and 14 days expedited is fast for this time of year. Here in California motor vehicle appointments for Real ID's are 3 weeks or so out... easier and quicker to get a passport.

Have you called the Passport info line (1-877-487-2778) to find out if you can pay to have your app expedited and add 1-2 day shipping? You may also want to find out if you can go to a passport agency to apply if you don't get it before early April. May end up having to repay fees though not fun but better than having it effect your trip. I paid Expedited Processing $60.00 and 1-2 Day Delivery $16.48 if you look at my post above it's about a 2 week return time (assuming it arrives on time with no errors).Less than 2-3 weeks.

It just got delivered today to the PO Box for the Philly passport center. I still have 4 weeks before I need the passport back. I was going to call them once it's in the system about status and if I should expedite it.

Thanks for the advice.
