Our passports expire April 2025 and looking for experiences/recommendations.

In 2020 there was not much positive being said about the "new" (then) online processing. Mail in times 3-6 months(!).

Recommendations appreciated.
I re-newed online and believe it or not I did it on November 3 (a Sunday) and it was in mailbox on Tuesday the 12th. Monday was a Holiday so I am to assume it would have been in mailbox then. Online it said 4-6 weeks.... I got mine within 9 days. SHOCKING!!!
And, I paid regular fee.... I don't think you can "expedite" the online renewal.

As a note: the second you submit online application your passport becomes invalid...
you do not mail it in. Just an FYI~
