SophieA Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 I was just wondering if you could all give me some feedback here...I applied for my passport May 8th and the lady at the post office told me "There is no need to expedite your passport since you're not leaving until July 3rd." I checked the website and it looks like it's taking 4-6 weeks to get your passport if you don't expedite...while that would give me my passport in time, I am still kind of nervous. I have heard horror stories of people not being able to go on trips b/c their passports didn't come in time! So..how long did it take you to get your passport? And.. Do you know if I can call and pay the extra fee to get my passport expedited after I have already submitted the application? Or do I have to have an "emergency"? This IS an emergency to me! I must see my bf asap! LOL!!! And... If my driver license (that was issued in 2006) states that I am 5'10" and my passport app says 5'11"...will this cause an issue with processing? Thanks for your help! I'm anxious!!
JeezLouise Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 The height discrepancy is no big deal. It took about 2 weeks to get my kids passports without expediting. You have tons of time. Relax.
Rollercoasterr Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 took me 13 days. I got mine last month and the website still said 4*6 weeks. Don't listen to it because you'll get it way sooner. Don't stress.
Island Girl Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 My passport arrived in 3 weeks. A friend I applied with got hers in 4 weeks. We paid the expedition fee for my brothers and he had 6 weeks until departure date. It didn't arrive in time despite numerous calls and we were told over and over it is in process it will only be 2-3 days. Yeah, we were told that for 2 weeks. He even said he'd drive there to pick it up and they wouldn't allow it. So in the end - I didn't expedite mine and it came with plenty of time to spare. Paid all of the fees for my brothers and it still didn't come in their original 4-6 week time line.
Treasa Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I recently got mine, and it only took two weeks to arrive. I think you'll be fine.
