Any recent experiences?
Reddit has some people mentioning 2-4 weeks, but those posts are from a year or so back.

I renewed mine last year (2024) and if I remember correctly it took maybe 3 weeks before I received the new one. A rather painless process as I mailed my old passport in with the application.

I sent it to the Osaka Consulate Jan 2nd (received on 3rd), and I just got the notice that it is now "processing" and will take 6-8 weeks, plus shipping time.
With a March trip planned that is cutting it close, but I am betting that the timeline is more in line with others' experiences.

That's what I'm hoping for.
