Paid for overnight express label and overnighted application. I had a trip in 5 weeks and used this site before applying. It gave me hope I would get it in time. And I did!

It was a minor’s first passport and I did pay for priority express shipping, too. The agency cashed my check on 6/27, so 5 days after applying at the post office. The status online was “in process” from that day on, but I received an email update of application “in process” on 7/9 and one saying “shipped” on 7/13.
