Americans should review current processing times before making any definite or nonrefundable travel plans, a State Department spokesperson said.
A routine passport application currently takes 10 to 13 weeks to process, according to the State Department.
Expedited passport processing costs an extra $60.
For comparison, before the pandemic, it took two to three weeks for expedited passports and six to eight weeks for routine passport processing, the State Department said.
The price varies depending on the area of the country, according to the State Department.
