Earache Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I don't think they take six months anymore - that was years ago.There is a fee you can pay for speeding the process up. Takes only a couple of weeks, but it is kinda expensive.I renewed mine last year and got it back in 3 weeks - without paying the fee.

Disclaimer Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Mine took a solid 12 weeks, but I did mine right after Katrina hit, and guess where all my forms had to be processed? Yea, New Orleans. So after 6 weeks I get a letter saying they lost my Birth Certificate (The only original copy I had on me -- my parents live 70 miles away in Mansfield. No big deal, just a hassle and some gas), so it turns out that I get ANOTHER letter a week later saying they found it, but lost my forms. So, I went down to the courthouse and had to REFILL out the forms, but without a birth certificate. Eventually and miraculously, somehow my birth certificate and passport showed up about 6 more weeks later. Luckily it was on the company's dime - $110 for all that drama.I love dealing w/ the government. What a PITA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walther_gsp Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Mine took 8 days, but my company paid an expedite fee. My trip, of course, was canceled as soon as I had passport in hand. I think the fee is an extra $100 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/fees/fees_837.htmlExtra $60 for the expedited service... $160 total if you want to expedite. Not too terrible to get it faster, if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
