Online US Passport Renew : How long did it take you all to receive it?
I renewed my soon-to-expire U.S. passport online last week, but my travel plans recently changed and I may need to travel sooner than expected, so I’m getting a little anxious..
My timeline:
5/4 around 10 PM — Submitted online renewal application
5/8 around 9 PM — Received “Application In Process” email (The email stated they received my application on 5/7 and are now reviewing it.)
As of today, my status is still showing “In Process.”
I’ve seen a lot of recent Reddit posts where people received their passports very quickly (most within 7–10 days) so I’m debating whether I should try to make an appointment at a passport agency to expedite it.
For those who recently renewed online:
• How long did it take to receive your passport after the “In Process” email?
• Did your status remain “In Process” until it shipped?
• If you made an in-person passport agency appointment after already applying online, did you have to retake your passport photo?
Any recent experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!
