Passport Renewal Processing Time
This historical graph preserves the original adult passport renewal waiting-time series. Historic weekly averages came from crowd-sourced applicant timelines. They are not the same as today’s published Routine and Expedited figures.
Average Waiting Time Over Time
The line shows the legacy weekly aggregate for adult renewals. It does not distinguish Routine from Expedited processing.
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.
