Where is my renewed passport?

by Judith
(Hendersonville, NC)

Question: My husband and I mailed both of our passports together for renewal to Box 90155 in Philadelphia. Our separate checks were cashed on 2/8/11.

My husband's new passport arrived Priority mail on 2/22 postmarked Portsmouth NH. His old passport arrived the same day via regular mail also from Portsmouth, but a different street address.

If it was sent, please track it as it still hasn't arrived with today's (2/24) mail. Thank you.

Answer: Passport applications sent together do not remain together at the processing center. Since estimated time for routine processing is 3-4 weeks, the applications can be completed and passport mailed out on different days.

Your renewed passport should arrive within the next few days. You can check the status of the application by clicking here. If it does not arrive soon, contact the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778.
