As the United States approach what is expected to be its busiest season on record, the Department of State has urged Americans to check their passport expiration date, and to take action to renew their passport well in advance of international travel this year.
The State Department's passport processing times are currently 8-11 weeks for routine processing and 5-7 weeks for expedited processing, which costs an additional $60 per application. These processing times fluctuate throughout the year depending on demand and it is anticipated that they will rise, especially as the busier travel season is approaching. Processing times begin when the State Department receive an application and do not include delivery times.
