You might also want to request overnight delivery of your new passport. Expedited service is $60 and overnight delivery is $15.45. We recommend you wait to see if your passport arrives by Aug 11 before visiting a regional passport agency. If you visit the agency on Aug 12 as a walk-in, arrive well before it opens. Inform agency personnel that you do not have an appointment but already have an application being processed. Take proof of travel.

Where is my passport renewal? by: Anonymous Question: I sent my passport to PO Box 90155 for expedited service on Jan 22, 2015. It was delivered on Jan 23 and signed by K. Kahraman. Today is the 2nd of February and I have not received my passport back even thoush I sent a prepaid expedited envelope. I just checked and the tracking number has not been activated. Roberta Answer: First of all, the correct PO Box for expedited service is 90955 so it probably took a little extra time to get to the right PO Box. Then, it takes 7-10 days after applying for status of your application to be available online. Finally, expedited service by mail is estimated to take up to 3 weeks. Therefore, your application status should be available within the next day or two and your application should be processed and your new passport delivered no later than February 16 as long as the application, documents and payments are accepted.
