    The average time to get aq passport the first time is 6-8 weeks. If you travel is imminent, you can get expedited service in two weeks for an additional fee and if you are lucky enough to live near a regional passport office you can get it in one day.

    I applied for mine during a slow travel season, and received it back in about 2-3 weeks. Of course, mine went to New Orleans and it was pre-Katrina, so I don't know if the timeframe has changed. They always say that to be safe, you should allow 6-10 weeks to get it, depending on how busy they are.

    3-4 months if only paying the 75 dollar fee. if you add an additional i think its 100 dollars you can get in about 2 weeks

    it can take anywhere from two weeks to six months depending on who you are..i was adopted and it took six months..i guess the three birth certificates didnt help. my son and daughter one born in the states the other overseas took about two weeks to get them back.
