I found out my passport was expired and i had to apply for a new one since i was now an adult. I was planning on going to cancun on a trip and it was booked in may. So this is my whole story that was stressful and if you need a passport start the process asap. Unfortunately not able to travel on 7/13, holding out hope that I will receive my passport before my original 7/29 trip.ħ/14: 11am email notification that status updated to approved, 1:15pm email notification passport has shipped with tracking number (when I check status on passport website it still says in process) with 7/15 expected arrivalħ/15: UPS has notified me there is a delay in delivering my package despite over night air's next day guarantee.

March 23-Sent application supporting documents with USPS 1-2 service deliveryĪpril 6- checked USPS status pending called USPS to make sure my package was not lostĪpril 7th- USPS delivered my stuff with department of stateĪpril 15th: checked application status to pendingĪpril 21st: received a notification from US STATE that i was missing my signature on my application/ same day sent my application through fed ex and was expected to be delivered on April 27Īpril 27: FED EX PENDING STATUS/ Sent another application with signature with 1 day priorityĪpril 29: application with signature received at department of state again So my trip in April 30 didn’t matter after all since the event got cancelled but USPS/FED EX did a horrible job handling my mail and my fault for not checking my application signature. Has anyone recently received an expedited passport back/are you able to share how long it took for it to process? I’m hoping to get my new passport before April 30 for an upcoming trip! Thank you in advanced!Īs of May 5th I received my passport book They should received my old passport (I'm renewing) on March 29. I paid for the expedited processing, which is currently estimated to be 4-6 weeks.
I'm trying to gauge if current government estimates for passport processing time can be believed.
