Adult Passports < 2wks, Child Passport ???

[nasvhillecruise]

I am SO excited. We applied for our passports on November 9 & received them on November 21, which is less than 2 weeks. & we didn't even pay for expedited service since our cruise isn't until March.

 

My question is: We also applied for my 5 y.o. son's passport & it didn't get mailed with ours. Do those typically take longer? I'm not overly worried yet, just curious.

Have you checked on line to check the status of the missing passport?

I didn't know you could do that. Thanks for the advice.

that's fast! we applied for our passports on Saturday - and going by what everyone has been telling me - decided to skip the expedite fee. We are hoping to get them before Jan. 5th so maybe there is hope yet : )

 

I'm not sure about your son's passport, this is a first time for us and I'm pretty much clueless. That's good you can check online though.

I wouldn't worry about it. Same thing happened to us but in reverse - my 8 year old sons came in 2 weeks and me and my husbands took about 10 days longer. I was beginning to wonder, but they showed up. It's definitely too soon to worry. This was just about a month ago. We also didn't pay for expedited service so I was actually surprised how quickly they showed up :)

My son's passport came yesterday, so we are good to go. WOO HOO!!!!

 

I had been hearing that the passports weren't taking very long at all, but 2.5 weeks was pretty quick IMHO. Now March can't get here quickly enough!

I just applied for my passport today - I don't NEED it by my cruise January 5 but it would be nice if I got it. Hopefully I'll get the same luck all of you have been getting!
