How long does it usually take to renew a passport?

and for a child, does the child need to be present for the whole time while renewing passports for the entire family?

Answer:
right now the rate to get a new passport is about 12 weeks. and yes both the father, the mother, and all the children must be present (or if one of the parents cannot make it then they must fill out a separate form or get a power of attorney).


you must have your old passport and your actual birth certificate with you at the time of processing.



Your child HAS to be there!!!


and no, you cannot send out a form by mail if you are renewing a passport for a child!!

you have to go to special post offices (only select locations)
Adult passports (if the passport has not expired) can be renewed sort-of-online -- you fill out the form online, print it out, and mail it in with the required documentation. Saves having to go to the post office to submit it.
1. a few minutes,

2. no
No as long as you have a new photo bring and surrender the old passports and it will take about 17 - 25 days. Right now with the whole Canada thing going on it may take a little longer.
My son is 3 months old and we're traveling outside of the country in August. For him, both my husband and I needed to be present and it only took a few minutes to take his picture and fill out the form.

We paid extra to have them expedited since they say it could take 12 weeks now! Because we expedited, we got both of ours (my son and I) in 2 weeks! I definately recommend expediating if you need it soon!
you can renew by mail (actually cheaper) though note, the gov't is backlogged like 2 months ...
well i just sent off for mine yesterday and i should have it by the ninth or the sixteenth of next month, so 3 weeks to a month for a new one for me, but the thing is mine is through the millitary which might speed it up but allso im in korea so it has to go to the embassy here so that could possibly affect the time it takes compared to how long itd take a civilian. biggest isue is the birth certificate, i might not get mine cause mine was a copy even though it had the seal on it and all.
