Just curious, does that "passport application status" check website actually work for anybody?

For me, it doesn't :unsure:

Well, it worked for me but the thing is that I went to check just 5 days before i actually received the passport, so you probably have to wait a little bit more until it shows you any update.

hm - on the website it says "may take 7-10 days....." it's been 11 days for me now.

Also says "if there's more than one record for you in the database, it won't work....", so I am thinking (because I applied for passport book and passport card) this will be the case for me: two records in the database, hence no tracking on their website.

oh, well - playing the waiting game just a little longer....................................................

I'm gonna be sooooooo happy when this whole thing is done and over with!

ok - two weeks after I applied the website shows that I applied :wacko: fine.

They send your passport, the card, and your CoN in 3 seperate envelops - because 2% of all mail sent gets lost in transit.

If they sent all three items in one envelop and that would get lost - it would be detrimental!

The way they do it (in 3 seperate mailings) your chances of at least one of your vital, irreplaceable documents making it through the postal system are about 67% higher.

How fast is expedited processing?

Check what the Department of State site says about processing times. here the link:

Pasport Procesing Times

ROUTINE SERVICE

As of ( Tuesday March 20, 2012 ), we are processing routine applications in approximately 4-6 weeks from the time of application.

EXPEDITED SERVICE

As of ( Tuesday March 20, 2012 ), we are processing requests for expedited service in about 2-3 weeks door-to-door, when overnight delivery is requested and paid for both ways (to and from the passport agency).

However, I read that some people that applied for Expedite received the passport within 2 to 5 days.
