Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

Rush Passport ExpeditorThe holiday season is almost upon us.  If you’re planning overseas travel during the coming holiday season be sure that you have a valid US passport.  It is important to see that your passport is not expired.  An expired passport can present a problem if it is not caught early.  It is a good time to apply for a new passport or renew a passport that is due to expire.

In order to apply for a US passport book or U.S. passport card it is essential that you have your passport photos taken.  The standard passport processing time to receive the passport book or passport card is currently 4-6 weeks.  Expedited passport processing is available if you have a passport emergency and need your passport for immediate travel.

Now is a great time to apply for a Passport!

Back in May in a previous Rush Passport™ passport blog entry, it was reported that there was a backlog of over 70,000 passports.  The passport team at the passport agency formulated a plan to alleviate the passport backlog and they were successful.  In less than 4 months, the passport agency has made a significant impact in passport processing times

Currently, there are just fewer than 25,000 passport applications in the system.  This number of passport applications being processed is considered to be within the normal range.

The recruitment of 50 extra temporary passport staff helped to expedite more than 68,000 additional passport applications over the past few months.

At the end of April there were over 69,000 passport applications awaiting processing.  As of June 17, there were still approximately 68,000 passport applications in the backlog.

At that time, passports were taking 4 to 5 weeks to process.  Now there is a 10 working day passport guarantee is being offered to passport applicants.

Today, with just 25,000 passport applications in the system, Ireland’s passport processing bureau should be seen as an inspiration to other countries around the world that are experiencing a backlog of passport applications.

The number of passports being issued daily is in Ireland is approximately 3,200.  Each year, the Passport Office processes over 650,000 passport applications.
