After you submit your application, the U.S. Department of State reviews your documents, processes your request, prints your passport, and mails it to you. Fortunately, you can track your application progress instead of waiting without knowing when your passport will arrive. You can check the status online, receive email updates, or contact the National Passport Information Center if you need assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how to track your passport, understand each status update, and know what to do if the process takes longer than expected.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Check Your U.S. Passport Application Status Online<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest way to check your passport status is through the U.S. Department of State&#8217;s official online tracking system. You will need:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your last name<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your date of birth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last four digits of your Social Security number<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter your details exactly as they appear on your application. It may take up to two weeks after you apply for your information to appear in the online system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Does Your Passport Application Status Mean?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The online tracker shows different status updates as your passport application moves through each stage. Here is what the most common statuses mean.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>In Process<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn Process\u201d means the State Department has received your application and is reviewing it. How long it stays at this stage depends on whether you selected routine or expedited service. You usually do not need to take any action unless the State Department asks for additional information.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Approved<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cApproved\u201d means officials have completed the main review and are preparing your passport for printing. This status usually appears near the end of the process. In some cases, the status may return to \u201cIn Process\u201d if officials need to complete an additional review.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Passport Mailed<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPassport Mailed\u201d means the State Department has sent your new passport to the mailing address listed on your application. If you applied for a passport book, you may receive tracking details that allow you to follow the shipment. The State Department sends passport cards separately by First-Class Mail.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Supporting Documents Mailed<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your passport and original supporting documents may arrive at different times. The State Department may return documents such as your previous passport, birth certificate, or naturalization certificate separately. These documents can arrive up to four weeks after you receive your new passport.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why Does My Passport Status Say \u201cNot Available\u201d?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing \u201cNot Available\u201d does not always mean there is a problem with your application. It can take up to two weeks for your documents to reach a passport agency or center and appear in the tracking system. A temporary technical issue or incorrect personal information can also prevent the system from displaying your status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your last name, date of birth, and Social Security number details carefully. If the information is correct, try checking again later.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How to Get Passport Status Updates by Email<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The State Department can send email updates as your application moves through different stages. These notifications can tell you when officials begin processing your application, approve it, or mail your passport. You can still use the online tracker whenever you want to see the latest information. Email alerts can save you from checking the website frequently while you wait.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How to Check Your Passport Status by Phone<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The online tracker is usually the fastest way to get an update. You can contact the National Passport Information Center at 877-487-2778 if you need additional assistance. Calling may help if:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your application has an unusual delay<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to change your mailing address<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your international travel date is approaching<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your passport was mailed but has not arrived<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want to request expedited service<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The State Department requested additional information<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your application details ready before calling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How Long Does a U.S. Passport Take to Process?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travelers often ask, \u201cHow long does it take to get a passport?\u201d The U.S. Department of State currently lists these estimated processing times:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Routine processing:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4 to 6 weeks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Expedited processing:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2 to 3 weeks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expedited service costs an additional $60. These estimates only cover the time your application spends with a passport agency or center. Mailing takes additional time. The State Department advises that it may take up to two weeks for your application to reach a processing facility. After officials print your passport, delivery may take up to another two weeks. Consider both processing and mailing time when planning an international trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What to Do If Your Passport Says Mailed but You Haven&#8217;t Received It<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your status shows \u201cMailed,\u201d first review the available tracking details. If more than two weeks have passed since the State Department mailed your passport and you still have not received it, call the National Passport Information Center. The center may ask you to complete Form DS-86, Statement of Non-Receipt of a U.S. Passport. You must submit Form DS-86 within 120 days of the passport&#8217;s issue date. If you miss this deadline, you may need to apply again and pay the required fees.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Can You Expedite a Passport After Applying?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes. If your travel plans change after you submit your application, you may be able to upgrade to expedited service. Contact the National Passport Information Center to discuss your options. Expedited service currently costs an additional $60, and the estimated processing time is 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing time is not included in this estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may also be able to request faster delivery of your completed passport book. If you have urgent travel plans, contact the National Passport Information Center as soon as possible. Travelers with international trips within 14 days may qualify for an appointment at a passport agency or center, depending on availability.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How to Track Your U.S. Passport Application from Outside the United States<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process works differently if you apply while living or traveling abroad. In most cases, U.S. citizens abroad should work with their nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. Application requirements, appointments, payment methods, and delivery procedures can vary by country. Check the website of the embassy or consulate where you applied for instructions specific to your location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need help while applying outside the United States, the State Department recommends contacting your nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Tips to Avoid Passport Problems Before International Travel<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A delayed passport can affect your travel plans. Following a few simple steps can help you avoid last-minute problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Apply early:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Submit your application well before your planned departure date.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check passport validity:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some countries require several months of validity beyond your travel dates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Monitor your status:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Review updates occasionally so you can respond to any requests quickly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Provide requested documents promptly:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Delaying your response can extend the processing period.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Allow time for delivery:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Remember that mailing time comes in addition to processing time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Avoid tight travel timelines:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Try not to depend on the shortest estimated processing period when booking a trip.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Checking your U.S. passport status early can help you prepare for your trip and avoid last-minute travel problems. Keep an eye on your application, allow enough time for processing and delivery, and contact passport services if your departure date is approaching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your passport is ready, you can start planning your journey.
