Passports are much faster now.

That'll do.

My initial Passport took 5 days, back in 1978 with the military and State dept. help.
My last renewal was about 4 years ago. It took a couple of weeks by mail.

If you needed a PP quickly, it might be worth a trip to a city that has a PP office. My husbands was not a renual, it was a brand new PP in an hour. (of course, if there had been a line.....) ;9{
