Passport processing takes up to 10 weeks during the busier times of year, notes the U.S. Department of State website. Renew your passport well in advance of your travel to ensure you receive it before your trip.
The estimated time set by the State Department to process your passport is four to six weeks. Renewal of passports can be done through mail, but first time applications should be done in person. You can apply for a passport at designated circuit court offices, regional federal buildings, and post offices.
