How Long Does It Take?

Processing time is typically about seven to ten business days after we receive your completed application and approve it. All passports are now printed in the U.S. and shipped to Moldova. Because delivery times cannot be guaranteed, we suggest that you do not make any unchangeable travel plans until you have the new passport in hand. We will contact you to arrange for you to collect the new passport at the Embassy after it arrives.
