Regular Member mixedguy Posted October 1, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted October 1, 2012 For those of you that have traveled from the US to another country, how long did it take you to get your passport. I just went in to the passport place this past Friday and don't travel until November. They say it takes 4-6 months. Is this true or do they just say that to be safe?

Senior Member Jotronic Posted October 1, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 1, 2012 You have options to expedite the process. I'm surprised they told you it takes 4 to 6 months. The latest update on the official website says 4 to 6 weeks. Go to this link to learn what you can do and to check the status of your application if you already submitted...

US Passport application processing through the Post office can take a few months and up to several weeks even for an expedited US passport. There are passport expediting services that can get your passport for you in as quick as 24 hours. It all depends on how big of a hurry you are in and how much you are willing to spend. Since we are not allowed to post outside links I can tell you that one passport expediting service where I live charges the following, Same Day Passport = $229 plus gvt fees 2-3 Business Days = $199 plus gvt fees 4-8 Business Days = $149 plus gvt fees 7-9 Business Days = $99 plus gvt fees 10-12 Business Days = $69 plus gvt fees Dr. Dow Stough - 1000 Grafts - 1996 Dr. Jerry Wong - 4352 Grafts - August 2012 Dr. Jerry Wong - 2708 Grafts - May 2016 Remember a hair transplant turns back the clock, but it doesn't stop the clock.

Regular Member mixedguy Posted October 18, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 18, 2012 Fyi, I didn't expidite, just did the normal processing. They said it would take 4-6 weeks, but I got it back in 2 weeks. They try to get you expidite it just to get extra money out of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably doesn't hurt that you also applied during one of the least heavy travel seasons....between summer peak travel and holiday peak travel. You apply around Thanksgiving or Christmas I doubt you'd see anything close to 2 weeks. Glad it worked out for you.
