Passport processing takes up to 10 weeks during the busier times of year, notes the U.S. Department of State website. Renew your passport well in advance of your travel to ensure you receive it before your trip.
You should allow approximately three weeks to receive a new passport. You can help minimise processing time by ensuring you provide everything we need when you lodge your application. If you need your passport in a hurry, you can use our priority processing service for an extra fee.
