And why would anyone order the 32-page (standard) passport instead of the 52-page (large) passport? They are both the same price.
Finally, a passport is for ten years but you can’t use it for travel after 9.5 years because many countries require that you have a valid passport with six months remaining.
So you have to renew it about 8-9 months before it expires. The new passport should run from the date the old one expires - not from the date it is issued.
The State Department recommends renewing it nine months before it expires.

I don’t remember how long mine took. A quick google search tells me people regret getting the 52 page if they don’t need it as it’s bulky to carry and they wish they could switch to the 32 because they’ll never need the pages since most countries are moving to digital entry/exit systems and aren’t stamping them anymore. As for the renewal length? that’s well above my pay grade. Lol
