Expedited is 3 weeks and is $80 more. We got LO's expedited just in case, even though we had about 8 weeks before we have to have it. The guy at the office gave me crap but we can afford the extra cost and if something goes wrong like the paperwork being lost we have time to deal with it.</p> <p>Also, in our area it took over a month just to get in, so I'd be sure and plan early just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passport-turnaround-time#post-2547352 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:56:41 +0000 Dahlia 2547352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got LO's and renewed DH's last month. Both came back in about 10 days. We didn't pay for expedited, but it was fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passport-turnaround-time#post-2547215 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:11:44 +0000 lovehoneybee 2547215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine and E's back in less than 2 weeks, but that was in late 2013. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passport-turnaround-time#post-2547210 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:08:32 +0000 looch 2547210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Renewals we usually get back within 4 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passport-turnaround-time#post-2547088 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:50:56 +0000 peachykeen 2547088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got DD her passport last year around this time and it took 5 weeks to get it back, I think (didn't pay for expediting). </p> <p>However, I've been reading that they are expecting passport renewals to really increase starting this year because of the huge surge in applications when the Canada/Mexico rules changed 10 years ago. So I would make sure to give yourself extra time. My mom applied for her passport during that first crunch and it took FOREVER - she barely had it in time to leave for her trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passport-turnaround-time#post-2547052 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:37:02 +0000 yin 2547052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH used to work at a passport processing center. It took about a month, but this was 10 years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passport-turnaround-time#post-2547023 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:27:05 +0000 Bao 2547023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: oh really?

So depending on when you need it by, you might want to wait for the new one or get in your application before then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passport-turnaround-time#post-2546999 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:17:57 +0000 Anagram 2546999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passport-turnaround-time#post-2546998 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:17:14 +0000 lamariniere 2546998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're lucky, since we do it from abroad, it only takes a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passport-turnaround-time#post-2546960 Thu, 12 May 2016 07:39:50 +0000 lawbee11 2546960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was around 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passport-turnaround-time#post-2546956 Thu, 12 May 2016 07:37:44 +0000 Bao 2546956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you've applied for a passport lately, what was the turnaround time on it? We are applying for ours soon but just curious the average time it takes to get them back. I know it varies! </p>
