My son sent his application from San Diego about the 20 of January and still hasn't received it. Hubby sent it expedited Feb 1st and got it a week ago. We leave last week of March for Mexico so hope son gets it!

Average time is 6 weeks (although according to the link below, it's been upped to 8 weeks currently). It could be longer or quicker depending on the demand. Expedited is usually about 2 weeks.

Funny thing. My wife and I renewed ours in late 2006. Did the exact same paperwork in the exact same way, had new pictures taken and affixed them in the same way, addressed them in separate envelopes so as to avoid confusion on their end, and dropped them in the mail together.
She got hers in about 3 1/2 weeks.
I got mine in about 7 weeks.

I applied in early January and just found out from the passport website my renewed version should be arriving today.
BTW~You can go to the US Passport website and check on the status of your application.

At the end or January, the rules changed so that US citizens are required to have a passport to fly to the US from Canada. This may account for the length of time to get a passport in the past month. I applied for a renewal January 8 (six weeks ago) and am still waiting. According to the website, my passport should arrive in about one week.
