Was super worried I wasn’t going to get my passport renewed in time for my trip (despite expedited fee being paid) and ended up getting it much quicker than expected. With 1-2 day delivery, my application was received by the agency on 8/15/22, was approved on 8/29/22, and received back on 9/1/22. Almost half the expected processing time listed on the agency site. Overall made for a much less stressful experience than anticipated!
