State Department reduces anticipated passport waiting times as records broken

  • The number of U.S. Passport books and cards issued in the past year has reached an all-time high, exceeding 24 million. The State Department has reduced the processing wait times for new applicants, with routine service expected to take 8-11 weeks and expedited service taking 5-7 weeks.
  • The State Department has implemented measures to improve passport processing times, including increased staffing levels and investments in technology. They are also advising applicants to apply well in advance of their potential travel, at least 6 to 9 months before their passport's expiration date.
  • The new processing times apply to applications received on or after October 2. The State Department recommends checking the validity of passports early and often for future international travel.
