Passport card arrived today. Still waiting on naturalization certificate.

Did you get a tracking number for passport card? If not, were you able to see it via informed delivery?

I believe you only get a tracking number for the passport book, so it looks like that even the express shipping only applies to the book, not the card and your certificate (unless you ordered only the card).

I had exactly the same question last night and today in the informed delivery morning email it stated that I should get a letter (regular letter) from "US Government Official Mail" - St. Albans, VT - I assume it is the passport card. I could not see earlier that it's coming soon but today I can see that it's out for delivery.

No tracking number. Appears as a letter from "US Government Official Mail" in Informed Delivery, here's a picture:

I think the processing time for the cards varies. How long have you been waiting?

Hopefully the cards will arrive soon. Unfortunately I don't think there's any way to track it though.

I did mention on the application that I wanted to go to Italy in October (but of course I wasn't sure and my plans have changed already anyways), and I ordered the thick book, not a regular one. Not sure if these 2 variables effected the processing time.

Have you gotten a new design passport or the old one?

Old one. Mine approved July 3.

Old one. The new generation (plastic page) has black and white photo, old one (paper) has color photo. So I'm totally cool with the old style. Plus the new gen is almost useless compare to the new gen passports in other countries (e.g. Russia) where it actually has a chip inside with your fingerprint so in some cases you can't use it if it won't match with your finger. The new gen US passport doesn't have that, as far as I know.
