What travelers need to know

The State Department says routine passport processing times are eight to 11 weeks.

The summer travel season is right around the corner, which means travelers itching to see the world should get a move on making sure they have an up-to-date passport in hand. 

The State Department says routine passport processing times are estimated to be eight to 11 weeks – still above the pre-pandemic average of six to eight weeks but much better than the 18-week wait travelers faced last summer. 

The State Department encourages U.S. citizens to apply for a passport “well in advance” of any expected travel and suggests applying for or renewing a passport at least six months ahead of planned travel to avoid any problems.  

Here’s what else travelers should know about passport applications before their trip.
