Did you get your passport yet?
 

The US has a back log of more than 500k passport applications. And 2008, the deadline for border passport use is approaching fast.


How many of you have your passport app sitting in that pile?

It's the same in canada, I filed for my passport over 2 months ago & I still haven't got it!

For flights to the US we are allowed to just show that we have filed for our passport and that allows us in.. I dunno if thats the same for you guys entering canada.

I filed for my passport at the beginning of June and I received it by the end of June. I might have received it really quickly because I'll be leaving for Mexico at the end of this month.

I need to get one. I don't have one. I hope it doesn't take forever!

Not sure either, but come 2008, there is will a lot of upset travelers.

You really should go and apply today.

Mine is good till 2010, but do need to get one for my 2 month old son, and my Oldest daughter needs a new one. Hers expired.

What sucks about the childrens passports, is that they are only good for 5 years.

My passport should be here next week or so..... applied for it like three or four months ago.

I've had a passport for about 13 years.

That's a big backlog. Is the government prairie dogging?

arent they always???

ya no doubt. We dont need new ones till Dec for the kiddos at least. Back to Japan for a bit. Weee fun get to go see the inlaws... yippee.. :(:1orglaugh

I got my new Canadian passport because my old one was expiring down here in Costa Rica. When I applied they said it would take at least 3 weeks (knowing things here I figured 2 months+) but to my surprise it was ready in just one week!!

Mine finally got here. Paid the additional for an expedited, but they put the wrong address on the envelope so it took a week longer than it should have.

Got mine in 2005, and i can only imagine what a pain in the ass it is now, considering it was a pain in the ass for me then..

Damn, I better get moving on mine :disgust

I got my passport 2 weeks ago, it took 7 business days to process, why the hell are you having issues? :helpme

received mine in three weeks, I paid the extra $60 to expedite.

The three of us applied at the beginning of June. I can see us in the system online, but don't expect to have it for a good while.
