Get a Passport Renewal Reminder
The last thing a traveler wants to do is forget to renew his or her passport. Passport expediter, Its Easy will can help prevent that by sending you a reminder. Just sign-up for free on their website with your expiration date and they’ll e-mail you nine months in advance giving you plenty of time for renewal. They’ll also send you links to relevant applications and forms you might need and, as an expediter, they can help you get your passport quickly should you find yourself in an emergency.
Great idea Alena. I just renewed mine recently and it took less than 3 weeks to turn it around. Guess the government has conquered that backlog!

That’s really good! It took about 4 weeks for me to get mine back when I added pages and I was nervous because a lot of people told me it only takes a week! I usually give myself an 8 week window to play it extra safe.

You’re right about the window. I was expecting mine to take a minimum of 6 weeks and was ready to track it online (a new service, thank you State Dept!). It got back on the day I was set to look it up. Technology is a wonderful thing.
