Child Passport Processing Time
This historical graph keeps the original child passport waiting-time series. The historic series is a weekly crowd-sourced average and is not a guarantee of how long a child’s application will take today.
Average Waiting Time Over Time
Historical points are legacy weekly averages. Current Routine and Expedited published values are listed separately and are not a continuation of this chart.
This historical series ends on December 25, 2023. There is a gap between that archive and today’s published statistics. The chart is not filled in with current published values.
Today’s Published Figures, Shown Separately
These figures are from the current PWT-USA published statistics. They are split by service level and are not a continuation of the historical aggregate above.

What This Graph Shows
Averages are crowd-sourced from applicant timelines submitted to Passport Waiting Time. They are a guide to typical processing times, not official U.S. Department of State figures and not a guarantee for any application.
The historic line predates the current Routine and Expedited dimensional model. Treat it as an archive of how overall waiting times moved, not as a like-for-like continuation of today’s published cards.
