How recently?

I renewed mine couple years ago, didn't do the expedited processing or whatever it was, only took around 5 weeks iirc maybe less... all I really remember was being pleasantly surprised at how quick it was.

I applied back in April and it’s taken about 7 years so far.

Where do you want to go? Americans aren't welcome in a lot of places right now due to the virus.

Mine expired in May, figured it would take forever to renew due to Covid, and where would I go once i had it.

So its sitting in my desk.

That was my first thought. An American passport is about as necessary as that condom I carried as a freshman in high school.

You can still go to Mx .. Cozumel , Cancun Isla Mujeres etc etc

Now is a good time to obtain a passport since the Trump Administration expedited the process. If you're born in the United States and don't have a record it would probably take no more than 6-8 weeks.

As if you ever had a passport in the first place.

There's no place to go. Muricans are persona non grata.

My daughter is supposed to go to Oxford in January. Probably won't get to go, but we applied for her passport in early July. She received it mid-August.

How do I apply? Do I need a birth cert or can I get by on ID/SSCard?

 

[jtrue28]

They are allowing expedited passport applications/renewals now. As of yesterday. We didn’t know that until we showed up to have our applications processed. $60 fee each though. Typical processing time is 12 weeks. Expedited is 4-6 weeks.
If you have never had a passport, you will need birth certificate and driver’s license (or other valid photo IDs).

Sounds like someone needs an exit plan from a possible bigamy rap

You can't even go to Canada right now or vice versa. I have Canadian friends here that are required to go home ever 6 months but are stuck here right now.

We applied for 3 passports on 9/26. We received them on 10/9. Mine was a renewal and the other two were new applications. We paid for the "rush" service. We were actually very surprised we got them so quickly. YMMV. ATKOT.
