Expect Three Weeks For "Expedited" Passports |
As one upset U.S. traveler puts it in the article linked below:
"I can't believe they're proposing a rule where they want to charge you the same amount and in return you're virtually guaranteed to get worse service."
Yup. Despite promises to clean up the passport backlog by the end of next month, the State Department has announced that travelers willing to pay the extra $60 fee for expedited passport service should allot three weeks to receive their passports. Last year, before the new passport rules sparked an onslaught of applications, an expedited passport could be in your hot little hands in a matter of days.
