re: Fastest way to renew a passport?

I know I can get one in my hands in less than 12 hours if absolutely necessary, but that's not the case. It expires in a few months and I just want to have it taken care of before I forget.

It's a have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it kind of thing.

Just do what the poster above did then. If you don't do expedited, there is still a reasonable chance you'll have the new one in 2-3 weeks. I think mine arrived in 10-12 business days last time, and I didn't expedite.
