Optional Comments:
I submitted first tome applications for my family of three. My husband’s application was the first status to change to “in process”, then my sons (his went from in process to approved and we received a tracking number), mine never changed from not available. The only stressful part was the waiting game as we had international flights booked for 3/3.

Adult Renewal Passport

Adult Passport Renewal

Paper Application

Optional Comments:
Husband and I applied at the same time, with our documents in separate envelopes as advised, but within the same package. Took 10 1/2 weeks from mailing the applications to receiving both passports today. It was somewhat stressful because when we applied they were stating 6-9 weeks for Routine processing, and ours dragged out beyond that. But with no travel plans in our immediate future, the time it took didn’t actually matter, except mentally, ha!
