Yes thank you; I'd already looked at that tracker, but it seems to suggest much less time than a week for expedited passport applicants. I was curious as to how much time, and more importantly how people establish that their applications are trackable - do you repeatedly poll the state.gov status page or sign up with your email and it notifies you as soon as its trackable ?

I was trying everyday by this link: https://passportstatus.state.gov/ 

And when they said they did not match my information, I added my email. After 3 days I got a notification by my email: 

 

(Thank you for submitting your application for a U.S. passport book! It is currently being processed.
Your passport application locator number is *******.
When you applied, you requested Routine Service. )

 

Then when I go to the website and check on my status, I see the same message. 

But as we see, there are vary responses from case to another case. So you don't have to worry since you are still in the normal processing time (That they told you when you applied). 

Good luck.

I got my passport. It was trackable after 4 days in my case, but it was done within a day, with my passport issue date being the day after it became trackable. Registering my email address after not finding it in the system, did work - the moment it became trackable, I got an email .
