Has anyone tried to get their US passport renewed this summer? I sent it to them in May and it still says it’s processing 😫

Question. Do you have to send in your old passport in order to get it renewed? I’m worried they’re going to lose my passport with all of my stamps 😩

Yes you do. I was worried about this too. 😓 Make sure when you ship it, you ask for a USPS tracking number.

I was told current processing time for passport renewal is estimated to be 5-6 months

Yikes 😓

Same. My mom did her’s as well, it took from May 3rd to literally 3 days ago. So 3 months. Meanwhile, I’ve heard nothing, still says In Process. I submitted early June so I imagine I’ll get it early September based on her timeline.

Sent my in late-April under normal processing. Still hasn’t come.

Called a few days ago to get it expedited.
Praying it comes before my trip to Portugal/Spain in mid-September.

I think you can get it expedited as long as it says it’s “in process” when you check the status online. But not 100% certain.
