The U.S. State Department recently 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.” Additionally, the postal service is taking up to six weeks to return passports, causing additional delays.
BAL Analysis: U.S. citizens intending to travel abroad should renew their passports as soon as possible to avoid delays and complications. More information on travel restrictions and considerations can be found here.
