I have mine scheduled for the beginning of January. They said 4-6 weeks and if I pay the extra $60 to expedite it it will take 2-3 weeks. Anyone get a passport lately? How long does it really take?
ETA: Need it by first week of April

They build in quite a cushion, usually takes less than a month. When do you need it.

I just applied for mine Saturday. They said normally it's on the short end of the 4-6 week timeframe.

One of my friends lost his passport the week we were supposed to go to Mexico for a wedding and got a same day one in Houston. He did say he had to break the fricking bank to get it though.

End of year always backs up. 4-6 is accurate.

While we are on the subject: Do you have to have a passport in order to fly now? Or some kind of identification other than driver's license?

Yeah you can get same day in Atlanta if you go to the office and pay extra. I don't think it is THAT much extra though, but it does take effort.

get it the normal way.

you will have to pay the $60 plus go to the post office and get a special $20 stamp so make sure you do that first if you want an expedited one unless you want to have to stand in line twice.

eta i should mention i got my at county clerk's office..not post office..so i had to leave & get the special stamp & come back and stand in line all over again.

eta and you have to go by walgreens first & get a $15 photo made.

for april i think this is overkill. just get it hte normal way.

You should be fine. I got mine renewed a couple of months ago. It took about 6 weeks.

I got one about a month ago. From the time I went and turned in my application, paid fees, etc. And got the passport in the mail, a little less than 4 weeks. I did not pay the expedited fees.
