It typically takes 4-6 weeks to receive a newly issued or renewed United States passport in the mail. However, you can pay additional fees to expedite your passport application:

  • Regular processing (4-6 weeks): No additional fee
  • Expedited processing (2-3 weeks): $60 additional fee
  • Expedited shipping (1-2 weeks total): $17.56 additional fee
  • 1-2 day delivery: $60 additional fee

Keep in mind that processing times may be longer during peak travel seasons or if there are issues with your application. You can check the current processing times on the U.S. passport agency website.

Processing is typically faster if you apply in person at a passport acceptance facility rather than by mail. Many post offices, clerks of court, and other federal buildings are authorized to accept passport applications. Check the website for locations near you.
