I haven't received my passport and it's been 9 weeks?

Question

I haven't received my passport yet. I applied for a passport on April 22 and it has yet to come. I don't need it just yet (I plan to travel at the end of July), but I'm slightly worried. I got a slip in the mail saying my application was approved, but it still hasn't come.

Is 9 weeks normal processing time? I read that the standard rate is 4-8 weeks. Should I call and complain or just wait a little longer?

Answer 1

9 weeks is fine. It took me about that to get mine.. I was even more worried than you because I was leaving for a cruise and I got the passport a week before I left! You'll get it soon, but if it gets mid-July and you still haven't received it, then call and ask them where it is. You'll probably get it very soon is what I'd guess.
