The last time I renewed my passport, it took less than a month. Are you paying for expedited?
DH and I applied for Global Entry renewal 2 days apart. Mine was processed in 2 weeks but his took around six months. Our passports expire before our next trip at the end of the year. I just flew internationally and sending mine in this week. Hope it makes it on time. I will expedite it but… who knows. This is absurd!!!Wow, that's terrible. I don't doubt that it's true (It took this retired cop 10 months to get Global Entry), but it really doesn't seem right.
I think some governmental agencies are more hiding behind Covid than trying to work through it.
DD(18) needed to get a new passport. Because she just turned 18, it's not a renewal and is instead a new application. She got it done at the post office and was told it's taking 5-6 months to get back due to COVID.
I hope that they're just trying to scare people away from applying. I renewed my passport back in May and it only took 4 weeks to get it.
Over on the Cruise Line Forum people are saying they got their Passports in 4 weeks.

I am beginning to wonder if how busy the specific Passport office you use is the factor. Someone posted this week they got theirs in three weeks, renewal, expedited.I applied for mine 12 weeks ago and it still isn't even showing up in the system.
My passport that I applied for mid-May came in the mail yesterday and they have my birthday wrong!!!!! How did they get that wrong - they had a copy of my birth certificate?????
Thank you @lifesavacation for starting this thread. I knew mine was fine, but it reminded me to check dd’s. It expired. Thankfully, I checked on an afternoon dh was not on the road so we could go in and have dd apply. Yahoo, this was the last time we had to do a minor passport application! I get why it’s a hassle, but it’s still a hassle.
Sent in last Wednesday. Let’s see how long it will take. My guess it went to Chicago if history repeats.
Did they tell you how long to expect?
