13 days! This was a renewal, for a 17 year old, so it is now a 10 year passport. This is the second passport processed from our County Clerk’s office (New Jersey) within the last 6 months. The applications went to different passport offices in Texas. Both were renewals. Both came back in under 1 month. It could be a big coincidence, but if you live in NJ, maybe use your local county clerk’s office if they offer passport services.
