About how long does it take to get a passport in the U.S.?


and how much does it cost?

The above costs are accurate. We just applied for a passport for our son, and it arrived in about one week. We didn't pay for expedited service, so we were impressed!

BTW, the new passport format is nice -- every page has scenes from the US painted on it. Much better looking than the old boring ones...

Happy travels!

6 weeks, 3 if expedited for an extra fee. Base cost is $100.

New rates are $100 for those over 16, $85 for those 15 and under.

Right now it is taking 3 to 6 weeks to get a passport. I have heard of people getting it in less time than that and they didn't pay for expediting. If you wish to have it sooner you can pay a $60 fee along with express postage and have it within a shorter time.
