Pattycruise Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 4 hours ago, Renee600 said: Applied the first week of December. A few new applicants, a few renewals. Had them before Christmas. About 3 weeks. No expedited service no expedited shipping. Time frame varies by post office. Do a little research on town social media websites. This was my process and I went to a post office that people commented had fast turn around times. Nothing is a guarantee, but it worked for us. I do t understand how the post office has anything to do with it. They mail the package out for processing. Am I missing something?

silenttuba Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Lost my old passport, so I had to reapply. Wife sent hers in for renewal. Expedited service (not shipping) for both. Both sent in on Jan. 27. Mine is "In Process" as of Feb. 8th, hers as of Feb. 9th. We sail on April 10th, so I feel pretty confident that we'll get them in plenty of time.

That's like giving the government an interest-free loan on YOUR money. What interest? That’s old way thinking? Interest rates paid to consumers are close to Zero. I would rather get a refund than owe more to the IRS. On 1/26/2022 at 2:23 AM, HeWhoWaits said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitsmom Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Both my Granddaughters had to renew theirs and had them back last week (3 weeks turn around). My son-n-law had to renew his and still don't have his back yet. They didn't do expedited as we don't cruise until July this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenline627 Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 My wife renewed hers did everything at home filled out the paper work mailed it priority and she got her new passport back in 10 days. That was through the Philadelphia office. WAAAYTOOO, whitsmom and KristiZ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperMom Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 My application was approved!!! And, I can expect my passport on or about 2/22. Hubs is still a couple days behind it looks like. Thats not bad at all. 3 weeks looks to be about standard. Way better than 8-11. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyNestTravels Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Some TAs advertise they can assist with passport renewals. What is the advantage of contacting a TA for passport renewal vs. doing directly (and paying expedited fees if necessary)? Do TAs have special connections & access to expedited services?

Both applications were sent out on 1/27, so 21 days for hers, 23 for mine. Really happy to have them already, because we check in for our cruise on Thursday! on a side note, has anyone else gotten a “next generation” passport? My wife got the normal one, but mine is a new type, with a hard plastic ID page, and a bunch of new security features. Didn’t even know that was a thing!
