Planning to travel soon with a passport that’s about to expire? Sounds like a headache, but we may be able to help.
Since 2020, it has been nearly impossible for Iowans to get their passport issued within the ‘normal’ timeframe of 4-6 weeks. Lately, the State Department has been inundated with requests and is severely behind schedule due to understaffing. To ensure you receive your passport on time, apply at least ten weeks in advance of a planned trip.
The government’s delays have become your delays, and it has created lots of issues for travelers looking to vacation around the world.
It shouldn’t be this hard. That’s why I just voted to hire more staff at the State Department to review passports so it will be easier for Iowans to obtain a new passport.
Since this fix isn’t immediate, our team is here to help you secure your passport! Give our office a call at 515-400-8180 or visit https://nunn.house.gov/serving-you/federalagency/ for assistance. Â
