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.”
If an application was submitted more than 11 weeks ago for routine service or seven weeks for expedited service, the Department may have sent a letter requesting more information. Officials cannot continue to process the application until the applicant responds to the letter. 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.
