“Don’t wait until the last minute to get—or renew—your passport; the longer you wait, the more it will cost. Routine applications generally take up to six weeks to process for $67 (renewal applications) and $97 (first-time applications); both fees include passport, security, and execution fees. ”

Heh. To renew the Philippine passport only took less than a week. Send them your money & you’re good to go. I think renewing cost me only $50.
