Passport renewal question

How soon will you be traveling? Exactly when does it expire? If less than six months for expiration and you’re traveling out of the country in that time, you may need to renew it before you go.
I recently renewed mine. I sent mine in, and it took about a month to come back. It wasn’t even expedited. Super easy and glad I didn’t have to make an appointment. That being said, I did not have an impending trip planned, so I couldn’t go to the office. If you look it up on the website, it tells you the amount of time needed before you travel to be able to use the office in Nola, which might be a few weeks. That’s just my understanding, I didn’t look into it too hard since I didn’t need my passport for a few months. The website should answer most of your questions on the process.

I did mine last month via the expedited mail option. It was 2.5 weeks to get it back.

As far as I know New Orleans is still an option too.

If your passport has less than 6 months left on it it is as good as expired.

I did a renewal at the beginning of December and it took about 10 days and I didn’t pay for the expedited option.

I did mine in Manila the last time at the U.S. Embassy and it only took a week.
