U.S. Passport Processing Times
The U.S. Department of State is currently processing routine passport applications within four to six weeks of receipt. They are processing requests for expedited service within three weeks.
If you are traveling or need your passport in order to get a visa within the next 2 weeks, you can call the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-4USA-PPT (1-877-487-2778) to schedule an appointment to apply in person at a Passport Agency. You can also apply online now to have your passport expedited!
If you have already applied but will not need your passport within the next two week, there should be no need to contact the passport agency.
You can check the status of your application online. Currently, it is taking 5-7 days for applications to be tracked online. It may take less time if you paid for Expedite Service and sent your application via overnight delivery.
