LOL. That is almost the exact time that independent website forums say that it takes. 33 days. But, the State Department says that the routine processing time is 8 to 11 weeks plus mailing time of up to 2 weeks. So, either the Government doesn't know how long they take to process a passport, or they are intentionally providing false information to get you to pay their $60 expedited processing fee. I would like to know how the Government can justify the expedited service fee. What can they do with $60 to process it faster? Actually, it probably costs thousands of dollars for the Government to process a passport.
