New US Passport

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if the US embassy in London is issuing the new-look US Passports yet? Has anyone received one yet?

Thanks,

Yes, they are issuing them. I got mine a few months ago. It's rather a bit bigger. Seems more substantial than previous ones. 

Cool, just been reading about them on the link posted by op.

5 years to go on our existing passports, so it will be a while yet for us.

It looks like they are catching up to British and European passports with the hard plastic details section. Though, I don't understand why they got rid of the color photo? I know they say they are no longer necessary, but I like the color

Can anyone confirm confirm the timeframe to get a new US passport issued from the US embassy in London? We’re about to send my wife’s for renewal this week.

Also, once she gets her new one does she need to inform the home office or anything? She’s currently on on FLR and will be applying for ILR shortly after.
