Hi I'm going back to Japan in September and I'm applying for my daughter's US passport at the end of this month.
I was expecting to receive it in a week or so like in Japan, but when I looked at the website it says 8-11 weeks and I discovered that would not be enough time for the travel date. How long did it take you guys here to get your US passport from the time you applied for it to the time you got it?
Or do you know if there is anything I can do to get it in time?

If you request Expedite Processing for an additional cost $ 60, they will issue it within 5-7weeks from the date of application submission. If you still can't get your passport in time, you can make an appointment with Urget Travel, a passport center, and they will interview you and issue your passport. ( See below )

We recommend that you take action tomorrow, not at the end of this month. We recommend that you take action tomorrow, not at the end of this month. It is not as bad as it was at one time, but even now, due to COVID19, we have to consider that there is a great possibility that the schedule will be slower than what is written on the Web site.

Hello.
I will be returning to Japan in August and went to apply for my daughter's US passport on June 1.
I had to pay an additional fee of $ 60 because I could not get the passport in time for the regular issuance.
I received the passport about a week after I applied.
I applied for the passport at the post office in Waimanalo because my family told me that the post office in Waimanalo was less crowded.
I made an appointment to go there, and I am glad I did because it was definitely not crowded.

I don't know if the crowds at the application location had anything to do with it, but I received it much sooner than I expected, which was helpful.

I hope that my U.S. passport will be in safe hands before my trip in September.

It took about a month after I booked and applied at waimanalo !
I was not in a hurry, so it was a normal application.
