So luckily before my application got approved, they updated my last name in their system. when I checked last time before the approval the system was able to show the status using my correct last name and then the following day my application got approved. So I got both my passport book and card with the correct name.

That's awesome, good thing you managed to get a hold of the passport agency before it was too late. It was an "easy" fix after all.

The passport itself was shipped from Arkansas. I believe the places the passport actually ships from/is produced in varies, so you might get the newer one.

Applied July 16 at the post office. Received my passport today August 12. I didn’t get a notification in the email. Only fount out I was getting it today because of the USPS informed delivery. Now just waiting for my passport card and my naturalization certificate. Also, I applied expedite!

I received my passport card one week after I received my passporr on August 12. I received my Naturalization Certificate yesterday 9/8z It was on a priority envelop, but on the label it says first class. I am just glad I got it back! Now I just have to update Social Security. I am waiting for the office to open since I really dont want to drop off my Naturalization Certificate.
