You will likely receive multiple mailings depending on what document(s) you applied for: We will send your supporting documents such as birth certificates and previous passports in a separate mailing that may not arrive for up to 4 weeks after you receive your new passport. Check our Online Passport Status System for the tracking number. We are sending your passport to the address you provided on your application. We have finished reviewing your application and will begin printing your completed passport.
The length of time your application remains In Process depends on the service you selected and our current processing times. Your application is being reviewed at one of our agencies or centers. It may take up to 4 weeks from the day you apply until your application status is 'In Process' at one of our passport agencies and center. When your payment is processed, your application has reached the intake facility. When your tracking number says 'Arrived,' your application has reached the mail facility. During this time, your application is delivered to a mail facility, your payment is processed, and your application is entered into our system. This update means your application is still in transit to us.
