I think it’s just become a continuation as some of the passports obviously got applied for last year and issued this year.

don't the expedited ones have tracking numbers? i thought i saw they use priority mail?

No tracking number for Passport Cards.  They send them in regular first class envelope.

The only thing that gets expedited shipping is the passport book.

This is from their website: (I know that there is "If you only applied for...", but regardless of how it is written, it is shipped separately in a regular mail)

Mailed both wife and newborn passport book & card application today 3/26/2021

 

they were sent separately with each overnight label charge ( was hoping 1 overnight envelope box with 2 inside separate envelopes would be fine but he said no 1 application 1 shipping)

oh well

 

but I had both applications expedited with 1-2 day return  delivery also.

Forget to add the post office guy told us to just write date of birth on each seperate checks for wife and kid. No names to write just dob on it.

 

things might change from last time I had mine done but he stapled everything in application including the original certificate of naturalization . Is that ok to get stapled?

 

mine when I did they had us use paper clips for everything. ( I took plenty clips with me for it).
