Announcement: Get Your Passport TODAY!
The Dept. of State recommends applying for your passport 6 months prior to departure.
The U.S. Department of state is currently experiencing a very high volume of U.S. passport applications. The volume of applications, coupled with issues impacting mail and intake services, have resulted in delayed processing times.
- Routine service can take up to 18 weeks from the day an application is submitted to the day a new passport is received. The 18-week timeframe includes up to 12 weeks for processing and 5 to 6 weeks for mailing times on the front and back end.
- Expedite service (for an additional $60) can take up to 12 weeks from the day an application is submitted to the day a new passport is received. The 12-week timeframe includes 6 weeks for processing and 5 to 6 weeks for mailing times on the front and back end.
