I got an email just now that is the same information I get if I go to the passport department’s page and check status. Which is basically no status: here’s your application number, here’s our normal turn around time, if you’re traveling sooner go here for more info about contacting us.
But I guess if the application went in on June 25th and it takes four to six weeks, it’s winding its way through the system. The web site was informative and the application process was pretty easy but the web site is just a dead end after that point. I guess there’s not much more they could tell me but even an “in progress, no problems” answer would be better than just generic information.
LOL, like I’m going anywhere anytime soon!
