Can I track my passport application online?

Yes!  You can track the status of your application online by visiting Travel.State.Gov, however it may take up to 2 weeks from the day you submit your application until your status is "In Process." During these 2 weeks, your application is delivered to a mail facility, your payment is processed, and your application is entered into the State Department system.  Even if your passport status update says, "Not Available," your application and supporting documents are safely on their way to the State Department.
