There might be additional local fees for pictures and processing through the post office or other agency. I'd also expect it to take the full 12 weeks and possibly longer due to backlogs of applications. Of course you also have the option of using a passport expeditor company that will rush the process, but it can cost quite a bit extra.

I submitted one the first week of April with normal processing. I'm still waiting. I'd definately spend the cash for expedited processing. They aren't bumping them up once they are in the system unless you can prove you have travel planned outside of the country(i.e. airline tickets booked).

96 bucks plus 60 for it to be expedited. Wow. Any idea if a regional will hire you if you have at least sent in the application for one? Or do you have to have the actual passport in hand when you interview? I don't have any interviews lined up at the moment but this would be nice to know.

FWIW...
For those of you who need a US Passport renewed. DO NOT USE standard processing! Pay the extra for the expedited processing. My passport took almost 17 weeks to come back (I missed a sweet Europe trip due to this )
I've heard things are improving but I wouldn't take the chance!

I was being a little whiny about the fact that I had to relinquish my current passport in order to renew, yet I could be asked to cross the border at any time by my company. She took pity on me and held my hand through the whole process. She even wrote the little note. It pays to live in a small town.
Whole thing cost about $145, if I recall.
