Where can I look to see the status up-date for the processing of a Passport Card?

Question: I submitted the forms and documents needed for a Passport Card, including my Passport. My check was cashed, but I can't located the status of my Card.

Answer: It takes approximately 5-7 days for a passport application to become available for tracking. You need to wait at least this long before doing a search.

Also, it takes 4-6 weeks for regular processing of a passport application. If you requested expedited services, it can take 2-3 weeks.

To check the status of your application online you will need:

* Your last name, including suffixes without punctuations except the hyphen, (for example: Jones III, Patton Jr, Jackson-Smith, O Brien, Mc Queen, Varela Garcia),

* Date of birth in the following format: MM/DD/YYYY, and

* The last four digits of your Social Security Number.
