The U.S. Department of State is warning of massive delays in turnaround times both for issuing new passports and renewals.
If you’re a procrastinator and your passport is set to expire, hopefully you don’t have an international trip planned within the next four months . The U.S. Department of State is warning of massive delays in turnaround times both for issuing new — and renewing existing — passports.
Plus, that doesn’t even account for time to put together your application. Though not as onerous as first-time passport applications, you’ll still need to put in effort to gather some materials, such as a photograph from the last six months. And again, make time to gather your application materials, which includes evidence of U.S. citizenship for new passports. If you need time to track down your birth certificate from that dusty box in your parent’s garage, hopefully your international trip is even further than 18 weeks out.
Pay extra for expedited service by mail For an additional $60, you can have your passport processed and sent to you in 12 weeks . “Expedited” is a bit of a loose term here, and you’ll still need to plan for at least three months of turnaround time. And to make matters worse, you can’t make an appointment online. Due to the massive backlog, the State Department actually disabled its online booking system in July, and it’s still not available. Bake in extra time to listen to on-hold music.
