Real Applicant Data
These are real submitted U.S. passport timelines: individual application-to-receipt experiences for first adult, renewal, and child passports, including both routine and expedited service.
The list includes older rows as well as recent ones, so not every card reflects the current published average. Compare individual experiences here, then check today’s published figures on the current processing-times dashboard.
Data Tool
Each card represents one applicant. Days are calendar days from the application date to the received date. The comparison badge uses the current published figure for that product, when one is available.
Timelines may span different dates and periods. Current published averages live on the dashboard.

Applicant Comment
This was performed at Washington DC office in person. Called the national number and arranged for an appointment for the 250th Commemorative passport, so no requirement needed for immediate travel. I chose not to opt for expedited service, nor pay extra for expedited shipping fee.

Applicant Comment
I applied at the Josephine County (Oregon) Clerk's Office and received great service! And I'm happy to report that our Clerk is NOT an election denier, as it should be!
