Passport delays are creating headaches for Alabamians wanting to travel abroad.
“It’s simply due to a heavy backlog of people that are looking to acquire a passport or renew their passport because it’s such a big travel year this year,” said Clay Ingram with AAA Alabama.
Some U.S. officials also blame staffing storages as another contributing factor. Right now, the State Department states the process to get a passport takes 10-13 weeks, although there are exceptions for emergency situations.
