The U.S. State Department has provided updated estimates on delays for routine and expedited passport services.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Processing times do not begin the day an application is mailed but when the State Department receives the application. It may take two to four weeks from the day the application is mailed for the status of the application to state “In Process.”
Some applications may be further delayed because the State Department requests additional information. Applicants must respond to such requests in order for processing to resume. More information regarding the request for more information can be found here.
BAL Analysis: U.S. citizens intending to travel abroad and in need of a new passport should renew their passport as soon as possible to avoid delays and complications. Employers and employees should continue to consult their BAL professional before planning any international travel.
