What you might not realise is that with so many people trying to get new passports or renew old ones the waiting times for receiving your passport goes up dramatically, as the passport office deal with the backlog of waiting passport applications. The average waiting time to receive a UK passport via the standard postal service is 3-4 weeks but between the months of May and September this could go up to around 5-7 weeks.
You can also apply for a US passport book. US passport cards can take slightly longer to process, since they are sent with First Class Mail rather through overnight mail. The best option with a US passport is to apply well in advance of your travel date. This helps prevent the stress and extra expense of trying to obtain a US passport at the last minute. If possible, wait until you get your passport before making travel plans.
