It is taking more than a month if you go through this thread. For tracking, I think you have to call them. Maybe someone who did that can help you.
Thanks. I understand a good way to know if the application is being processed is to wait for the credit card to be charged. I'll wait 3 weeks before calling.

I'm reading different posts where reports of application status is something like (passport in production).

Is there an online portal we can check the status of the application?

When calling to check status of application, do I just need my citizenship certificate number for them to be able to check ? or do I need to provide other information ?

Which service did you choose? Was it the express pickup service? I plan to apply passports urgently too because I have an upcoming trip a few days after oath ceremony.

Seems in-person is going much faster than mailing in. I wonder what sort of travel proof are they looking for. You can get an itinerary from a travel agent and show that I guess as proof
