I sent my passport in to be renewed on Sept 3 and it was received by the passport authority on Sept 6. Has anyone renewed their passport recently, if so what was the turn around time? Thanks!

SXMMD--Have not renewed recently myself, but some are reporting fairly quick turnarounds. When do you need it by?

Yikes. At the very least, you should have expedited it. Best wishes.

I started my renewal back in early April, just before the summer rush. Their website acknowledged receipt of my application on April 11 (even though USPS tracking showed they actually received it April 4). I received new passport June 9. So almost 9 weeks. Did not pay for any expedited services. BUT, about 4-5 weeks after they received my application, I received a letter claiming my application couldn't be processed because "electronic signatures" were not acceptable...i was really surprised they noticed a scan of my actual signature was added to the application using Acrobat Pro...to the naked eye, the signature on the printed app looked legit, and i've signed many other documents using this procedure without issues....anyway, i had to print out the app again (app had been filled out using Acrobat) but actually sign with pen, and submit in special envelope to a special address....so this most likely added 1-2 weeks to my experience so beware using electronic signatures

Below is a link to a great tool on the State Department website that will show you the status of your passport renewal. It also has an area where you can put in your email address and you will receive updates as your renewal moves through the process. Passport Status - link
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

Using Fedex Kinko's "Rush My Passport" service which I will never do again, it took us about 5 weeks. I felt that they were a complete waste of extra money, nothing felt express about it. Good luck but I wouldn't bet on your success.
I prefer the Isle seat

We used one of the commercial expediters in April for a family member and had it back in 2 weeks. I was certainly surprised it came back so quickly. Hopefully yours does too!

My husband passport was about to expire. We had to make an appointment in Vermont at the Passport Office !!! WE LIVE IN NJ !!! we took the trip, all our paperwork was done, we printed the Itinerary, (as proof of paid tickets) AND YOU WILL NEED THAT ! they were very nice, told us to comeback in a couple of hours, we had lunch all went well, passport in hand... in another case, our friend had to do the same for a Trip to Italy, he went to Vermont, did everything we did, came back after a couple of hours, and his application was DENIED !!!! It was a very old IRS inquiry that was never cleared. He immediately got on the phone with the IRS, took care of the inquiry, all was cleared in their system... BUT IT TAKES 24 TO 48 HOURS FOR THE SYSTEM TO UPDATE !! NEEDLESS to say he did not go to Italy with his wife for their anniversary... But she went ! lol
