The 3 week estimated timeframe for receipt of your passport takes into consideration the additional time it may take to receive your passport application at a Passport Agency/Center when you apply for Expedited Passport Processing through a designated Passport Acceptance Facility and for the passport to be mailed to you. It may take longer for customers who apply for a renewal by mail without “Expedite” marked on the mailing envelope. Effective August 16, 2007, the Department’s standard for expedited passport processing completion, as defined in 22 CFR 51.66, is ten business days from either: 1) receipt of your passport application at a Passport Agency/Center; or 2) if the passport application is already at a Passport Agency/Center, the date your request for expedited passport processing is approved. Expedited passport processing is considered complete when the passport is ready to be picked by an applicant or when it is put in the mail to the applicant. Customers are advised to continue to check this website, as fluctuations in demand may cause timeframes for return of both routine and expedited passports to change. The Department has had a surge in passport applications that has led to increases in processing times, with corresponding increases in requests from the public for expedited passport processing. The Department of State wants to continue to offer expedited service, despite increased demand for it, and to ensure that the public can easily determine the current standards for expedited passport processing. ---

don’t listen to people…sometimes lol you can do it, go today, pay for expedite service…it is $60 more and bumps your time to 2-3 weeks… You can also pay for overnight shipping each way which is like another $32 I just applied on Aug 9th…paid for the expedite service, according to state dept website my processing time is 2-3 weeks, meaning I should get it very soon I will keep you posted… edit woo hoo beaten to it! ---

I wouldn’t count on it… The turnaround times they state are ‘standard’, and not necessarily reflective of the actual wait times now that they are very backed up. ---
