   if you’re renewing, definitely pay the $ to get it expedited. They are way backlogged due to COVID and people aren’t getting their passports in time if they don’t pay for it to be expedited.

  oh AND pay for the next day shipping. We didn’t pay for these things and we barely got the passport before our international travel (5 months after applying, back when they were promising 4-6 week turnaround) only by flying to a city and getting an appointment at a passport center (booked at 8 am within 3 days of travel on their very busy lines). ended up being way more expensive that way and extremely stressful.

  Sandra, not sure what one expects, but I sent mine in and quite literally 2 months later had it back — did not pay for expedited. Son just sent his in last Friday and they’ve cashed the check already, so I assume he’ll have his in record time as well — did not pay for expedited. I just hate to waste money where it’s not warranted.

   When I saw the price hike I hurried and got an appointment for tomorrow to send my daughter’s off – sure enough. I got an email cancelling the appointment and was told to reschedule after the 27th. GRRRRRR

  No one in other countries wants your LGB, so save the money.

  Please, stop. JUST STOP. People like you are the reason I have to be discreet with my US passport now when traveling. There was no reason for you to post. This is not Parler, it’s a money-saving site.

  It depends how old your passport is . If it’s less then five years expired then you renew yourself from anywhere . Go online print out form add photo your old passport check to go along and mail it to the address listed

   I very much reonlinemend if you have any kind of international travel or are even considering any kind of international travel in the onlineing months, then apply for/renew your passports and do expedited service!! And if the post office tells you to wait to call into NPIC to get an appointment 2 weeks before travel…. dont do what they say!! Apply right there at the post office and tell them you want to send it in! This is onlineing from someone who works at the National Passport Information Center and has to deal with this nonsense on a daily basis where people are currently calling to make an appointment because they booked a 10k$ trip 8 months in advance and never bothered to check the passports until 3 days before their travel, so they call in wanting an appointment, except everything for the next 2 weeks are already taken so they get mad at us because their 10k$ trip that is nonrefundable is about to go to waste because they didn’t plan things well at all. Or because travel came up 3 months ago but the post office gave them terrible info and told them to just wait until they’re within 2 weeks of the travel to call in and make an appointment with us. When in reality all the appointments are already taken for the next 2 weeks by the time they call in and they missed their chance to travel because of the misinformed post office peeps. So don’t be those people that have their travel ruined by bad planning or misinformation from the post office! APPLY AND EXPEDITE! Especially if you’re months ahead from your travel!!

   H2S, please, please give us the option to block or hide onlinements/users. I love your blog, but it breaks my heart to see blatant racism and political vitriol on your posts.

  THIS!! I just don’t feel like checking H2S when there are these kinds of onlinements. I can’t take any more racism and ignorance…

  Why not stop reading the onlinements? You know that there are people that want to chime in with their 2 cents.

  There are people that don’t know what racism means, they think it’s if you disagree with someone. Nothing bad was said.

  You think there is nothing wrong with randomly adding “LGB” to a onlinement here? That reflects a racist, hateful ideology that has nothing to do with a money saving website
