If you are thinking about applying for or renewing a U.S. passport now for international travel, please read the Department of State's current international travel advisory. Because of public health measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we have extremely limited U.S. passport operations. If you apply or renew now, you will experience significant delays of several months to receive your U.S. passport and the return of your citizenship evidence documents (such as birth certificates or naturalization certificates). Unless you have a life-or-death emergency, please wait until we resume normal operations to apply for or renew your passport.
What if I applied before passport operations were limited on March 19?
Because we have limited staff due to COVID-19, if you applied on or before March 19, you will experience significant delays of several months to receive your passport and the return of your citizenship evidence documents. If you received a letter from us requesting additional information to process your passport application, you may mail your response to the address in the letter. Expect significant processing delays.

WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE STILL BEING PAID?

Why? Unions....unions that give massive sums to Rat Party Headquarters.
You’d think with the reduced number of applications it would be quicker?
Well you pretty much can’t go anywhere right now anyway.
I got lucky.
Mine arrived 31st of January.
So that makes it okay to pay people for not even showing up?

I couldn’t even find anyone to take a passport photo for me.
Not even at Walgreens? That’s where we got ours.
“I sent in my renewal application by certified mail on February 28. I haven’t even gotten my old Passport back after two months.”
My buddy is in the same boat, only he is STUCK in the Philippines, with his expired passport that the U.S. Embassy punched two holes through when he applied for his new passport!
These are documents, get these masked bureaucrats back to work!
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll give them a try.
No probs. Let me know how it goes. They do it to spec.
There are at least 4 within 3 miles of me. Of course there are a couple of CVS locations within a half mile...

I did as well. Sent mine in at end of January. I have heard nothing. I guess Passports are nonessential. It's OK I guess, the trip I was taking got canceled.
