Passport Renewed Within Two Weeks

I just read the other day that beginning some time in 2018 passports will be renewed on line. Of course, this was right after we processed the paperwork, took the photo and printed it to the exact size, wrote out a check, and mailed it to the passport service in Philadelphia a little over two weeks ago. My husband’s passport was going to expire in February and we wanted to get it updated before that time, but also have it on hand in case if any unforeseen circumstances. It was mentioned the processing could take 4-6 Weeks. We knew it arrived at the center soon after it was mailed because the money had been withdrawn from our account. So it was a pleasant surprise that the new passport arrived in the mail yesterday. That was a pretty good turnaround time. I noticed that the photo was digitally scanned and is different than before. My husband just needed to sign it. We also kept the pamphlet it came with that included important reminders and phone numbers. It was kinda sad to see all the stamped pages from past trips overseas now empty. So at least now we have what we need ready for the next adventure - wherever that is.
