Online Passport Renewal Seems to be Extra Slow

I will definitely keep everyone posted. It's been two weeks in Received status so far.

Hesitant to post re something we haven't actually done, but I too was curious. Started looking at the passport renewal process, both on line and the "old-fashioned way"...Had no idea of the swamp i was getting into..the online process only started with a so-called "pilot project" 10/22...and accepted only 25k applicants...apparently that got blown away in days...now, its apparently live, but every site I went to, gov't and non-gov't alike, were just chock full of disclaimers about how long it takes, problems tracking the renewal process and so on...one even mentioned that you should allow "at least" two weeks in the received status for anything to happen..not encouraging, I know...and then theres the one that says even after its been approved, it can take ADDITIONAL 2-3 weeks to actually "mail" it to you, assuming you did it that way. Fortunately we've got a ways to go b4 we have to deal with it, but, I think I'll pay the extra fee and do it snail mail..,,,bet alot of folks would like to hear how it goes with you...please let us know...many many folks read this stuff and never post............GOOD LUCK!!
