Busy Passport Application Season?

[dhlunar]

When I renewed my US Passport, DS-82 by mail, last October, I received the new passport two and a half weeks later with regular service. At that time the State Department was saying its normal thing of 4 to 6 weeks.

My wife applied for her US Passport Book and Card on May 25 with a Passport Acceptance Agent and still has not received either document. The online status on travel.state.gov says they are currently processing her application. Could the reason it is taking longer for my wife to receive her passport due to the fact it is summer time and the busy travel season? Could it be that she is a naturalized citizen? Or could the delay be that it is her first US Passport?

Yup, summer is a bad time. Any other reason for a delay is not probable.

Yeah might be some problem contact passport office & tell them your issue.

Wife still hasn't received anything. Online status still says processing. On the DS-11 we put down our current address, but her drivers license has our old address. Yes she has updated it with motor vehicles here, but they just provided her with an notification of address update. Could the different address on the DS-11 and the drivers license (which she had to provide a copy of) cause an issue?

Would be nice to get at least the naturalization certificate back so she can notify Social Security sooner rather then later.

No, the address discrepancies don't matter. Give them a call.
