Hi guys, called passport phone number and they said they are NOT going by the form and they are NOT going by POSTMARK. They are going by when you submit it (when they receive it) so even if you do submit a form completed 12/25, you would still have to pay 130.. Can anyone else verify?

looks like only if you submitted in-person(post office etc) before 27th then only lower fees applies ELSE as you found they will ask/expect higher fees based on when they recieve the application - what a mess there was no clarification provided

We shall know soon, I see this on their website now:

Effective December 27, the fee for a passport book has increased by $20. If you applied before December 27, you will receive a passport at the fee you paid on the date you submitted your application.

So for my case for renewal of adult US citizen there is no passport renewal at USPS post office. I am hoping fingers crossed its $110 for me.

The barcode like others mentioned generates a unqiue code not sure if it does encapsulate the date or not.

My logic behind the old pricing is that if you submit by mail on 22, 23 24, if it reaches after 30th how can they say that they can only honor the old fee if they received it before the 27th. It does not make any sense, knowing how reliable USPS is they can even lose your package or deliver 10 days late Big Grin.ted

I am pretty firm that they will honor any mail ins dropped by 24/25th, I used USPS prepaid label the scan was only today however the label shows and the application is dated signed 12/25.

They told me it would take 8-12 wks. Not sure how they would collect additional 20... That would be annoying

I didn't cut it as close as some of the other users in the thread, but here's my renewal timeline: Mailed application package on December 22 (priority mail). Package delivered on December 24. The $110 fee was deducted from my bank account on December 30.

I just see a debit on my bank account for the old renewal fee yay! So no worries all who mailed by 12 25 even though it was a holiday and usps was closed, if you printed a label online and dropped off even ok 12 27 as long as the PDF form filler was completed and printed on 12.25 and the forms , check and everything was dated 12.25 you should be good. This is what my expectation was as mentioned earlier in above post. Good luck all.. 👍

That I don't know, if you did form filler but mailed it in February bro that's long time and anyone handling your app will straight off be checking the fees and stuff. If your close to deadline it's different but consider this they will already be processing all new ones come 1 1 2022 so why in the world would they accept yours at 110 do you have any logic? A few days late is one thing but 2 months late?

your right could be, but the chances are slimmer if tis 2 months vs 5 days late anyways best of luck hope you get the old fee too.

What i was saying is assuming they are manually (which they do) review all apps, and 1/2/22 all mailed ones will be coming with $130 check and yours even tho perhaps submitted (form filler) on 12/24 but mailed after 2 solid months ? perhaps its upto their discretion, could be ..who knows ...

My app was dropped on 12/25 (holiday) scanned by USPS on Dec 27th and fee deducted on Dec 30th.

Passport status website shows "In Process"

and they also deducted the previous fee without the $20 hike.
