Optional Comments:
Child passport renewal (but he is still under age 16 so it’s considered a new one). Mailed via USPS 1/03/2023. Received at National Passport Center on 01/09/2023 (weird because we are in Oregon and it is in NH). When we submitted the waiting times were 6-9 weeks so we did not expedite. But as we waited longer & longer the waiting estimate went to 8-11 weeks. I was ready to go to Seattle to get an emergency one for a trip at the end of March! Online status changed to Approved on 03/01/2023. Received on 03/07/2023. The online status never updated to say MAILED but it did give an estimate of receiving it on 03/08/2023. Maybe it only says MAILED if you pay for expedited delivery? Anyhow…a few anxious days, but it came before the 9th week was up!
