Since then getting daily messages from USPS that "Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility."
Does that make sense? Seems like a boilerplate answer.
Why don't they show any information regarding the names of the USPS facilities the letter arrived at or departed from during the past five days?
Anyone else has a similar experience? I am beginning to wonder if my application isn't lost?
Question: I live in Montgomery, AL, and today I went to the USPS to drop off my passport renewal form, which I need expedited. At the post office, a gentleman helped me get everything stapled and mailed. He put a shipping label to the following address:

Question: My husband and I submitted Passport Renewals via the US Mail several weeks ago. We got them returned to us with a note saying UNDELIVERABLE. I paid for them to be tracked and sent them to the address online for renewals from California. I am not sure what is wrong, but we need the passports and I have no ideas how to fix the problem. The only clue we have is someone wrote "Missent" on the front of the envelope, I have confirmed it is the correct address. We have already spent money to have them sent once and want to be sure this is fixed ASAP. Please advise us on how to proceed.

Question: My fiancée is renewing her passport and went through all the steps of expediting except she sent it to the Irving, TX processing center instead of the Philadelphia processing center.
We need it expedited ASAP but we do not know if the Irving Processing center is expediting or if they sent it to Philadelphia. The status of the passport is "not available" how can we know where the passport renewal is? Tracking says it got to Irving but how do we know if they sent it to Philadelphia or not?
Question: I sent in my application to change my name and renew my passport on 5/14 and have not received an update. I understand it takes up to 6 weeks but I realized that my photo and the certified marriage certificate were not included in my application so it is incomplete.
My passport is sitting with someone at the Philadelphia center but I have not heard about the missing items. Is someone going to reach out? I can mail those items separately but do not know who is in possession of my passport at the moment.

It sat there until 4/14 and got finally delivered to the Irving, TX 76064 processing center on 4/15. Is this delay typical or indicates that my mail was lost and finally recovered after more than one month?
Question: I was told at the application acceptance facility that if I was worried about not receiving my passport on time that I could expedite it in the middle of the process. The issue is, it has now been 5 weeks (a week longer than what is stated on the website as the maximum) and I still do not have an update and cannot expedite as it cannot be found. What can I do?
Question: I applied for a renewal and accidentally sent my expedited application to the incorrect PO Box. It’s been just about 6 weeks with no status available. Should I be concerned?
Question: Hi, we applied for our infant's passport using the expedited route on 05/28, and the application was delivered to the PA processing center on 05/29.
We have international travel booked for 06/01. Will we get the passport back on time?
The status check online says it takes 4 weeks for them to update the system and that the status is not available.
Answer: Hi, Jason. Expedited service takes 4 to 6 weeks. I assume that you did not receive the passport on time for your trip if it was for June 1st.
Question: I applied for an expedited passport in April. I have a tracking number that said it is delivered. The check hasn't been processed. The application says that it is "Not Available". They are not letting in-person passports be done. I leave in 2 weeks for international travel. I have called the agency and the post office and no one can find my passport. How do I get one in the 12 days before I leave? Can I request my old one back?
Answer: A status that says 'unavailable' does not necessarily mean that the application was lost. It is possible that it has not been entered into the system yet that's why the agent you spoke to also cannot find it.
The Department of State's website says that it takes about 4 weeks for an application to appear as 'in process' in the tracking system. During this period, your application is received at the processing center, the check is cashed and the actual processing is started.
The only place that can issue a passport in your required time is a regional passport agency. Unfortunately, appointments are extremely limited and applicants in qualified life-or-death emergencies are prioritized. Your appointment date must be 72 hours before your scheduled flight. Bring a copy of your airline ticket as proof of imminent international travel.
Question: I have called the passport number numerous times to speak to someone but when it tries to transfer me to an agent I get a busy tone and it hangs up. How can I talk to someone if that number isn't working?
Question: I have sent my renewal application via priority mail over a week ago but when I track the package it is pending delivery. I mailed expedited service, now I am worried that it is lost.
Answer: According to the latest update posted on the State Department's website, it takes about 4 weeks for the application to be "in process". During this time, the application is delivered to the processing center, the check is cashed and the processing started.
Question: I applied for passport renewal and my application was delivered at the National Passport Processing Center at Philadelphia, PA on April 4, 2021.
Unfortunately, the UPS store associate wrote Routine Service post office box number (90155) instead of the post office box number for Expedited Service (90955)
The processing time is 4-6 weeks for expedited processing which I paid for. It has been 38 days since the passport was delivered to the processing center but the Application Status is shown as "Not available" in passportstatus.state.gov website.
I have an out-of-country trip coming up this month. How to expedite the processing now? Thanks.
Answer: The application was likely rerouted to the right processing center. Also, it takes about 4 weeks for an application to appear as '"in process" in the tracking system.
Question: Hello. I applied for expedited service on April 8th and my application was delivered on April 23rd. I have a flight on May 27. Would my passport get here on time?
Question: I sent my passport renewal into the Irving office and it was received April 17th 2021. I decided to do the routine renewal due to the fact it said processing at the time was 6 to 8 weeks and expedited was 4 to 6. Now online it's saying 10 to 12 weeks which will put it past my travel dates. Can I change it to expedited with my packet already sent in? Or if there are any other recommendations!
Question: Applied passport at USPS on 3/17 under expedite option. Checked with USPS, the application was delivered to 19190, PA on 03/23. tracking the application on 4/20 - status is 'not available'. Check is also not cashed yet. Any suggestions please.
Answer: According to the Department of State's website, it takes about 4 weeks for an application to appear as "in process" on the tracking system. Since your application is just 4 days over the 4-week mark, it should be in process soon.
Question: How long after the check is cashed does one appear as "In-process" on the website?
Question: Our passport renewal applications arrived at the Philadelphia Post Office ( PO Box 90155, Zip Code 19190-0155 on April 10. When I track them they show still show as Ready for Pickup. It is now April 16! I received a notice from the post office they will only hold them until April 24!
Answer: There's no cause for worry. According to the Department of State's latest update, it takes about 4 weeks for an application to get to the processing center. '
Question: I applied at a USPS location exactly 4 weeks ago, and checks not cashed and status online is not found.
I took a photo of the USPS priority mail bill on the envelope (the bill was created by the USPS clerk, not me). The bill has the delivery address as LITERALLY "PHILADELPHIA, PA 19190". No PO Box number and no zip code extension, or any thing other than the quoted text. Tracking status says "delivered at [. ] in PHILADELPHIA, PA 19190". I am worried it may have been delivered to the wrong location since the destination address is incomplete.
Any thoughts on that?
Answer: It is very unlikely that your application was sent to the wrong address. Acceptance facilities cater to a good number of applications on a daily basis so we can expect them to know what they are doing.
This is what the Department of State's website says in verbatim:
"It may take up to 4 weeks from the day you apply until your application status is "In Process." During these 4 weeks, your application is delivered to a mail facility, your payment is processed, and your application is scanned and sent to us. If your passport status update says "Not Available," your application and supporting documents are safely on their way to us."
Question: My permanent address where I reside is in New York, but my mailing address is in Florida due to preference. Which address do I send my application to, since Florida and New York require applications to be sent to different addresses?
Answer: Residents of Florida and New York may send their renewal applications to the following address:
National Passport Processing Center
P.O. Box 640155
Irving, TX 75064-0155
Question: My Passport renewal application is also stuck at zip code 19176 in Philadelphia. I have a service request open with USPS but no one is able to tell me if my application was actually delivered. Did anyone have luck after their application was stuck at 19176?
Question: My passport renewal application was mailed on 2/22 to Philadelphia zip code 19190-0155 as per the DS-82 instructions. Somehow, it was routed to the Philadelphia zip code 19176 instead (similar to the experiences of two previous posters) and appears to be still sitting there today 3/18 with no movement reflected in USPS tracking.
I initiated a USPS "service request" on 3/4 to no avail. I also have been trying to check the status of my renewal at http://uspsg.net/status, but I keep getting the response: "Application Status: Not Found".
Your response to the two previous commenters having this problem was that the address on the form is not always the final destination and that applications are re-routed to processing centers that can best accommodate them.
This doesn't make sense to me for several reasons:
1. How would the post office know which processing center to route them to?
2. If my application was re-routed, the USPS tracking should reflect that re-routing. It doesn't show any movement from 19176.
3. In your response to commenter Albert, you stated "We do not know if 19150-0155 is housed inside a post office in 19176." It would seem to me that the passport department should know, or be able to find out, what is happening at 19176 and why packages are being held up there.
Please find out what is going on, and clear up the log jam that appears to be occurring at 19176. Also please post what is going on on your website. After all, the information contained in the passport application packages contains sensitive personal information subjecting the applicants to identity theft and worse.
Answer: As a privately-run website, we do not have access to the status nor control of the processing of passport applications. The answers and information we post on this website are based on the government's official website and other reputable sources. We are not the government. We only serve to provide information on passport issuance and other travel-related topics.
Question: Hi, I sent passport renewal for Expedited service to PA-19190 and it was saying that it will delivered to passport agency on March 14th by 9:00 PM. Still in the tracking, I see it is saying that arrived at Post office -19176 and I don’t see any movement after that. How should I contact that PO and passport agency to know the status of my passport documents?
Answer: The address on the form is not always the final destination of applications. They are re-routed to processing centers that can best accommodate them. There is no need to worry about there the application was forwarded to.
I sent my passport via USPS express this Friday to correct the PO box 90955 for expedited services with waive signature and I have tracking information.
The amount I paid was provided by USPS (26.35), which was paid. I got a text the same day at 8PM saying "return to sender". Not sure why it’s getting returned?
And will I be able to use that amount to reissue?
Answer: The address for expedited renewal is the following:
National Passport Processing Center
P.O. Box 90955
Philadelphia, PA 19190-0955
We cannot answer why the application was tagged as return to sender. You will need to contact USPS regarding the issue.
As for the $26.35 fee you paid, I am assuming it is for postal service. Again, USPS can advice whether or not you can use it to re-mail your application.
Question: I live in LA and I checked the tracking info and it said it was delivered to Irving, Texas. It says it was "Delivered" even though it hasn’t arrived at my house. I’ve been waiting for two months and it just says it was delivered to Irving.
Question: USPS lost my renewal passport app (DS-82). Now I'm in the process of a second attempt(DS-11) but I don't want to deal with USPS anymore. Department of State claims I can't use UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc but USPS. Meanwhile, I see these private companies take Passport apps. Please clarify this.
Answer: Hello, Fritz. Private passport couriers exist to assist applicants in submitting their applications. A private courier can also help ensure that all your requirements are in order.
Since you will be using DS-11, you need to go to a local passport office to have the application form adjudicated by a passport agent. Tell the passport agent that you will be submitting through a private courier.
The agent will seal your application packet and hand it back to you. You can then have a private passport courier submit it for you. We recommend Rush My Passport expedited passport service.
Question: Hello,
I hope someone knows the answer to my question.
I mailed my passport renewal application on February 17th via USPS 3 day priority mail with tracking. The last notification I received from USPS was that the package arrived at the Post Office in Philadelphia 6 days later on the 23rd.
My concern is that I mailed the package to a PO Box and the zip code I sent it to was 191950-0155 and the Post Office that received the package has a zip code of 19176. Zip codes don't match. Would a PO Box with zip code 19150-0155 be housed inside the Post Office with zip code 19176?
Answer: We do not know if 19150-0155 is "housed inside" a post office in 19176. What we can tell you is that applications are sent or redirected to the processing that can best accommodate it and there are numerous processing centers in the country.
