I think it depends on where you live too. I live in NYC which their office is usually busy. I just put that I need it a month later. I actually didn't need until 3 mos later but hey that's a question on there lol. I received it within 2 weeks, this was during late spring. Yes, both parents need to sign and be present at the application along with the baby.
Re: passport turnaround time for kids?
it was the same as for adults, you can pay expedited fee or regular fee and get it slower, i don't remember how long it took, maybe a month or so.
Standard turn around time is 6 weeks. You can pay to have it expedited in 2-3 weeks. We did that for DD and had it in under 2 weeks.
And yes, both parents have to sign off on it. If you both can't be there, there is a consent for you can complete but it has to be notarized.
4 to six, my phone hates dashes.
