Quickest time for passport renewal - Timeshare Users Group Online Community Forums

Quilter · February 14, 2008, 08:02 PM

I just found out tonight that our daughter's passport expired in '07. We got ours at the same time and they don't expire until '12. Must be because she was a minor. Anyway, she was planning on going on a cruise March 1 to Mexico.

Does anyone know the quickest we could get a new passport?

Thanks

I believe that the above locations can process your passport w/in the same day. There will be additional charges for the expedite service.

Hope this helps.

My son applied for his last Thursday. He paid extra to have it expediated. The post office called today and said it was in and that if he wanted he could go to the post office today or they will deliver it in tomorrows mail. So it is possible to get it in less than a week. My daughters friend applied for his and his came in the old fashioned regular way in 18 days.

I went to AAA and received my renewal within a week without being expedited. I don't know if that's the norm, but I didn't complain....Even though she's a minor, I would still inquire, if you belong to AAA.

In Canada, so I know it doesn't apply for those of you south of the border, but I am still flabbergasted. I went in person to renew my passport last Thursday February 7 (yup, eight days ago), and it arrived ExpressPost this morning - Friday February 15. Wow!! They told me it would take 5-6 weeks!!!

Thank you very much for all the replies. We went to the post office this morning and took care of it.

The brochure for the cruise (Royal Caribbean) says in case of no passport a birth certificate and valid photo i.d. would suffice. This rule is good until summer '08.

Still, we wanted to get this passport application over with.

I know AAA will take passport pictures but do they also process the renewal?
Please explain.
Thanks.
