Passport Renewal Timeline Calculator
Estimate when you will receive your renewed passport based on application date and processing type (routine or expedited).
Estimated Receive Date
Passport processing times vary based on the type of service selected and current demand at the US State Department.
Processing types:
| Type | Processing Time | Total with Mailing |
|---|---|---|
| Routine | 6–8 weeks | 8–11 weeks |
| Expedited | 2–3 weeks | 4–6 weeks |
| Expedited + Overnight | 2–3 weeks | 3–5 weeks |
| Agency/Center (urgent) | Same day–3 days | Immediate |
Important timeline notes:
- Processing times are measured from when your application is received at a processing center, not when you mail it
- Allow 1–2 weeks for mail delivery to/from the processing center
- Times fluctuate seasonally — spring and summer are busiest
- Check travel.state.gov for current processing times
