Some people I know who are scheduled to fly internationally July 28, do not have passports yet.
They were planning on applying now.
However, on the State Department website it says:
Unless you have a life-or-death emergency, please consider waiting to apply until we resume normal operations. While you can still apply in person at some acceptance facilities (post offices, clerks of court, libraries) and renew through the mail, we will not be able to meet our commitment of 6-8 weeks door-to-door for routine service. You should expect significant delays beyond this time period it normally takes to receive your passport.
Should they apply now anyway or wait? What is their best chance of getting their passports before July 28?
Thanks.
