When to Start a Renewal of a U.S. Passport

When to Start a Renewal of a U.S. Passport—And How to Sign Up for Online Renewal

Guess the bottom line is to start early, just to be assured that your passport is renewed on time.

I renewed my passport in early spring (online form, then mailed old passport in) and it took surprisingly about four weeks.

It was a year past expiration, mailed it in with the extra fee for an expedited process and it took about four weeks, I too, was surprised. I just got the old passport back this week, got it all done in the past six weeks.
