Did they have to receive it before issuing the new one? I did not have to send it in. Just give them a couple of different numbers on the passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interested to see how Canada differs from US in times. On a unrelated note spent some time in your province in May.

jsglow Posted August 13 #67 Share Posted August 13 This whole thread just reminds me what a giant cluster the entire issue was in the Spring of '23 when folks were waiting upwards of six months. Lots of European vacations got ruined that summer. We did our renewals back in December '23 as things were getting better and Expedited was down to about 3-4 weeks looking back but no one knew that at the time. I remember planning our renewals very carefully utilizing a short gap we had between cruises. Our applications were 100% ready to go and went in the mail with our 'old' Passports literally the day we got home from a cruise. It was a Saturday and I was able to make it to the Post Office by 3p. Glad I don't have to do that again anytime soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycruise1 Posted September 1 #69 Share Posted September 1 Online works great for renewal, so fast and no mailing costs involved. Completed the online application Friday 8/23. Received it Saturday 8/31 and the passport start date is 8/27. Was able to take the picture with a cell phone camera and upload it so no photo processing cost either, just the $130 passport fee.

First try mail I took my own picture, and they rejected it, I had to try again getting picture from UPS. Delayed whole thing for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But online I believe the instructions said if there were a problem with the picture we could upload another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I renewed mine online , it rejected the first few pics and let me keep retaking and uploading until it was accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
