After you sign and submit your passport application, the facility will mail it to the U.S. Department of State for processing, which may take up to two weeks. 

We will send status updates to the email address you provided on your application. You will know we are processing the application when you get an email update of “In Process.” You can also check the status of the application online.

If you did not receive application status updates, want to change the email address receiving status updates, or learn more about each status update, please visit our application status page.
