Passport question
 

Hi All,<BR><BR>We are planning to take our 2.5 year old to her first foreign trip in the spring 2003, and having several questions about her passport.<BR>1. How often will her passport need to be changed at such young age?<BR>2. How long does it take nowadays to receive a new passport?<BR><BR>Thank you.<BR>Regards,<BR>Vince.

Under 16 passports are only good for 5 years. The official time it takes to get a passport is 6-8 weeks but I got a renewal back in 1 1/2 weeks and my husband got his first one in the same time. I would plan on the 6-8 weeks unless you want to pay extra to expedite it.

My husband and I just recieved ours in the mail two days ago. Ours took 3 1/2 weeks.

fall and winter applications do not USUALLY take as long as summer applicatons...
