Anyone renew their passport recently?

Years ago, I went to England on a British passport that was expiring during my stay (didn't realize this until the drive to the airport).

The first day there, I went to Wales to get it renewed. They said I could wait a few hours, or they'd mail it. Screw Wales, so I left.

The next day, at 8:00 in the morning, my passport was in the mail. And this is like five days before Christmas.

Cool story, me.

 

Are you freakin serious? Do you have any details on that? Never heard of it.

 

13 weeks is WAY too long. It never takes me more than 6 weeks and I never get the expedited service. Usually about 2 or 3 weeks.

Something's wrong. Hispanic?

 

I renewed mine back at the end of July to go on a cruise in Sep, got it in 3 weeks with standard service. Did my renewal at the post office in Alvin, and had been expired since 1997. It was a b**** to pay for $100 renewal fee, but at least its good for 10 years

 

I got Passport Cards for my entire family 2 months ago. It took about 4 weeks.

 

had to apply again for another for a trip overseas after my other was stolen. went to the downtown main office, got it expedited, and it took less than a week. i forget exactly how much it was to expedite, but iirc it was a tad bit lower than 100 bucks. also, one of the clerks let me know that the processing times were fast at the time (about 4-5 months ago).

yeah... something doesn't sound right about your passport situation.

 

I got a new one in March. My company paid for an expediter, and I got it in 3 days.

 

This may have something to do with a major government announcement on November 27th.

 

lol, repped.
