It said 6 weeks, but mine arrived in 12 days!
ETA- they only take a certain number per day and that number resets at noon Eastern time (I think it’s noon, but it might be 11:00 or 1:00. I can’t remember.) so if you check right after that you’ll likely get in.
It took about a month for ours when we paid a shit ton of money to have them expedited.
I paid to get mine expedited because my then GF was getting a job in the airline business. Then we broke up a week after it arrived.
Ouch.
Well, I have “getting up before 2 or 3 (depending on US daylight saving time) to get ready for renewal” to look forward to. I’m not sure if that’s better than the time/money to travel to Tokyo.
That’s amazing! Thank you so much for the info!
Took them long enough.
Seriously? I just got mine done using the paper method and it was so annoying! Hope this is still around in 10 years.
I just completed mine online a month ago. I had an amazing experience and it took just under two weeks from start to finish. Online submission opens up at 1pm Eastern and I used an image taken from a phone at home.
I can’t recommend this online workflow enough for any body that needs to renew.
I did this while it was a pilot program. Extremely easy and the fastest processing I’ve ever had on a passport renewal.
Is this safe and now like phising? My passport been expired for over 5 years just dint want to do all the paper work
If you’re on a “.gov” site, it’s safe to expect that it is a legit site of the US government.
If it is expired, I don’t think you can do it. Just if you are in the last year of validity.
It says this under requirements: “We issued the passport you are renewing between 2009 and 2015, or over 9 years but less than 15 years from the date you plan to submit your application.” It doesn’t help for this person, but if it is within 5 years of expiring you can still renew through here.
Yeah most IDs can be renewed with in a grace period after it expires.
