Coincidentally, I was speaking to our local postmaster just this morning about renewing our passports which expire in the next few months. He indicated that new passports can typically take anywhere from two to six weeks and renewals anywhere from one to three weeks, depending on the season and the likelihood of increased applications in anticipation of up-coming travel, and that's based on standard apps without expedited services. Guess we'll find out next month.... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
