US Passport Renewal -- my experience
This is for my fellow Americans who may be one of Millions who have to renew their passport this year. Given the requirements from some countries to have 3 months validity, I cut it fine and decided to renew it before my March expiry date.
Sent the form in on Thursday and got the passport this Saturday. So they took about 3-4 days to make a new one and 2 days to deliver it.
I did the expedited process hence the speedy return.
I then Went and updated my Global Entry to reflect my new passport and then I have to wait for my old passport to come as it has some valid visas on it.
All in all a very pleasant process from the US Dept of State.
Question for others -- when you are asked to provide your US passport place of issue , what do you put. There is no location on the passport. so I normally say US Dept of State for issuing and location. The passport was mailed from Portsmouth NH
