My new passport just arrived exactly 16 weeks after I sent in the renewal package. I did not buy the expedited service because I had plenty of time. But if you have a safari booked for next year, now is the time to make certain it will not expire and leave you in the lurch.

Wife called today to find out when to expect our new passports which we requested and paid for three months ago.
She was told that it will be another 5 months. There was no explanation why it is taking so long.

Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

A dozen years ago it started taking longer, up to six weeks  My daughter was working for a Senator and when she needed a passport, she made one phone call and got her passport within an hour. They came to her desk, took a pic and came back with the passport in closer to 30 minutes. She knew I had applied for a passport renewal a couple of weeks earlier and was waiting so she phoned me to rub it in. I think the most needed law is one that requires every congressman, Senator and government worker to follow exactly the same laws and regulations that every other citizen must.

Agreed Supposedly they work for the people....but of course they get whatever they want and we have to fight for scraps

I paid the extra $60 Fee (Extrotion) because I didn't trust them to get it to me in the 9 months before I leave otherwise

Don't want slaves to get too uppity. Keep 'em in the stockade as much as possible.
They might get ideas. otherwise.
My replacement (original was living under the PU seat). with the Extortion fee took about 5 weeks. It takes more time with affirmative action quota hiring vs competent help..

I applied for a renewed passport and a passport card around 10 December. My new passport arrived Friday 07 January and the passport card arrived yesterday 11 January. I paid for expedited processing which was around $50. No big deal.
