Passport?

[jenger 22]

How long did it take for everyone to get their passports?

I would like to know also. I'm going to apply for a passport card next week but don't know if it will get here in time.

[jenger 22]

OK so I'm going tomorrow to apply. They said it could take up to 12 weeks so I will have to pay for it to be expedited. You only need the passport card and not the book if you are going into Mexico on land.

I live in NY so the have an ID card that is just like the pass port card which is amazing..

I wish!

When I went to get mine they said 5-7 weeks, but it came in 2! I didn't even have to expedite it.

I went with just 12 weeks to spare to apply for mine, like to the day, and was worried. The passport agent told me that they were just running at about 3 weeks at the time and indeed, mine came in about three weeks.

[jenger 22]

Hmmm I'm wondering if I should expedite or not then

I'll be crossing with my federal gold star drivers license and birth certificate tomorrow. I'll let you all know if they let me back in

I got mine in February. They said 3-4 weeks but at 3 1/2 they called and said they were behind and asked if I wanted to expedite or change my trip...I paid the expedite fee over the phone.

[jenger 22]

Hmmm...thanks!

Look to see if there is a passport processing center near you. I would have never thought in a million years there would be one in a little town outside the capital city where I live and in Arkansas of all places.

I applied for my passport through our local Post Office and it came back in less than two weeks. I didn't expedite the process. I was very impressed!

[jenger 22]

I just applied today through the clerk of courts. I choose to expedite it for $60.00 more.

They said it should take two to three weeks.

I'm not suggesting it because my passport was both expired and lost, but I got across the border with my enhanced DL and birth certificate. They asked me rather sternly why I didn't have my passport, where I was born etc.

If you are in a pinch don't worry unless maybe you are of Hispanic descent or have an accent.
