I got mine in 2 weeks with expedited. Looks like they're caught up with the backlog.I sent my passport away December 14 and received my new one today, just over one month with the holidays. Wait times can be several months in the summer, so I recommend doing it soon if you need a new one this year. Standard processing speed.
They are way down. IIRC it was 12 weeks last summer and it's now, according to the Dept of State, down to 6 to 8 weeks for regular service and 2-3 for expedited. However a lot of people are reporting as quick as 3 weeks to a month for regular service and that includes shipping time.Supposedly wait times are down from what they were last Spring and this summer.
Yep, everyone except California, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, or Texas sends to Philly.Since DH and I had our go to Philly (I think that was the address), it took about 6-weeks.
