Passport book waiting time

Treyu · November 5, 2009

This is what my online application status states:

If you applied for both a U.S. Passport Book and a U.S. Passport Card on the same application, the newly issued documents, as well as your returned citizenship evidence, may be mailed to you in separate packages at different times. Therefore, it is possible to receive 3 separate mailings; one with your returned citizenship evidence, one with your newly issued passport book, and one with your newly issued passport card.

Your passport application is in the final processing stages.

Your passport application locator number is xxxxxxxxx.

When you applied, you requested Expedite Service.

This means your passport should be mailed via overnight delivery on or about 11/07/2009.

If you have any additional questions, please contact the National Passport Information Center with the above locator number. It will enable them to update you on the status of your application.

Very fast processing! I did my passport application at the Clerk-Recorder's Office in San Jose, CA and the staff was so friendly and even called me on my cellphone about some mistake I made on the application. Went back right away and fixed it. If my passport arrives by 11/07, then the total processing time is only 9 days. I applied for both passport book and card as I do a lot of land trips across CA borders. Getting one for my son and husband, too. $20 only if you have applied for US passport or you already have a US passport. Not bad.

I apologize for monopolizing this page, but I am just so excited I want to tell you guys right away that I got my passport in the mail today! October 29-November 5- exactly 7 days.

Now I don't have to worry crossing the border on the 20th. Just waiting for my passport card and precious certificate.

Good luck to all who are still in the process. It won't be long now.
