renewing passport
I am renewing passport this week and will soon be going to Colorado for 5 or 6 weeks so will have mail forwarded. Is the passport sent by regular mail or is it sent by certified - or other ways that need signature? It worries me to have any important mail forwarded, but you have to do what you have to do!! I know I don't want to go to DC this week. Thanks

It will be sent by First Class Mail, no signature required as Flyboy has stated.
It may take a full 6 weeks for your new passport to arrive or it may take three or less depending on the volume of renewals at the center you used.

I sent in my passport for renewal on 6/2 and according to the National Passport Agency's website on "checking passport status", it is due back to me by 7/18. They may be running a little longer now as it is prime time.

The rush to obtain passports by year's end due to the new rules no doubt is putting the pressure on the entire system. You can pay extra to have your renewal expedited, which we did. This might help:
