U.S. passport delays may be four months long — and could get worse. Here’s what to know. - CNBC

"Even if you don't have a trip on the books yet, but your passport is going to expire sometime in the first half of 2024, I'd absolutely just renew it now," said Sally French, a travel expert at NerdWallet.

You may also need to apply for a separate visa to enter certain nations — a process that requires additional time and planning. The State DepartmentThe State Department encourages Americans to apply for passports "well in advance of any planned international travel to avoid last-minute issues."for urgent travel if they have an international trip within 14 days.

These appointments must be in person at a passport agency, which are typically near major cities, and may be hard to get given current demand, French said. You must have proof of immediate international travel, such as airline or cruise tickets. Travelers may be able to get a passport within three business days only in cases of emergency such as a serious illness, injury or death in one's immediate family.

Those who are worried about not getting their passports in time for an upcoming trip "should go directly to a passport office here in the U.S. and see if they can get it done earlier," Leocha said."The problem is, that doesn't help you today," he said. "You've got to plan ahead."

Can anyone tell me how long passports are good for before they need to be renewed?

Sounds like they don't want people leaving the country

It took me two weeks and I got mine

CNBC People in our country are so used to immediate gratification. My Drivers License has federal clearance. I don't know why anyone would get or renew a license without it.

CNBC I recently expedited mine and got it in good time.

CNBC Interesting 🤔

CNBC Sorry to hear about this situation with pass-ports.. K Dixie USA

CNBC Biden's America

CNBC This isn't 'people waiting too long' to apply. This is passport RENEWALS filed and paid online in January and still aren't processed.

CNBC I know a guy who can get Americans between 125 - 175 lbs to Nicaragua for $99.95 + shipping

CNBC Just think,it takes 18-24 months for a immigrant to become a U.S. citizen

CNBC There's no law because of the election between Trump and Biden broke the concept so we the people filed with court 22'-380 they just don't want public to know because they start burning state and federal building

CNBC This really isn't unexpected. I got mine last year and it took 2 weeks. People wait too long and things bottleneck.

CNBC For VISA renewal, appointments are given for 2024.

CNBC Marry a Canadian and get a Canadian passport, get it in 10 business days

CNBC Mine took 4 weeks after being quoted 6-8 weeks.

CNBC Mine was at 11 weeks and I got ticked off and paid to expedite it - it mailed the next day.

CNBC Our government is inept at all levels under this administration

CNBC It amazes me that people really believe nationalized healthcare will solve our healthcare challenges when the government can’t even print these little picture books for people. More government is NEVER the answer!

CNBC Another example of Biden failing.
