DH and I had to get our passports for our upcoming cruise.
I had a passport that was near extinction (and, didn't have my married name on it), and DH never had one before.
He applied at the county courthouse, and on the same day, I mailed my app in with the new photos and marriage license.
I got mine in 8 business days, he got his in 9! I was amazed!! We didn't pay for expedited, either...

Apparently, the bottle-neck clog of passports is now cleared, and it's quicker. Still, I wouldn't put it off overlong!
