Throughout the year processing times for routine service are generally four to six weeks due to heavy volume; however, currently we can offer faster services to all first time applicants, passport renewals, additional visa pages, and data corrections. Stay ahead of the Spring and Summer rush, and avoid longer processing times before your travel dates by applying for your passport now. You can receive your passport in less than four weeks for routine service.
ROUTINE SERVICE
As of ( Monday September 23, 2013 ), we are processing routine applications in an average of 4 weeks or less from the time of application.
EXPEDITED SERVICE
As of ( Monday September 23, 2013 ), we are processing requests for expedited service in an average of 2 weeks door-to-door, when overnight delivery is requested and paid for both ways (to and from the passport agency)*.
*Please note that expedited service is an additional fee of $60.
Already Applied for a Passport? Check Status Online
Currently, it is taking 5-7 days for applications to be tracked online. It may take less time if you paid for Expedite Service and sent your application via overnight delivery.
Please remember when calculating processing times, passport cards cannot be shipped using overnight delivery. All passport cards are returned using First Class Mail.
