Department of State Processing Times
For routine service it is now taking between 4-6 weeks from the time of application until you receive your passport. You may request the U.S. State Department's Expedited Passport Processing Service for an additional $60. If you pay for expedited service it takes approximately 2-3 weeks for you to receive your passport. (Currently, the U.S. passport card is not eligible for Express Service.) Processing time begins the day the application is received at the passport agency or center, not the day it is processed at the UNL Passport Office.
