Lankford Takes Action to Fix Historic Passport Backlog
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (June 29th) – Senator James Lankford (R-OK) today announced his plans to introduce legislation to address the eight-month delay for a passport due to a passport backlog of more than 3 million by making major improvements to passport processing at the Department of State.
“Oklahomans shouldn’t have to face months-long delays because the State Department isn’t processing passports quickly enough,” said Lankford. “My office regularly hears from families who are forced to miss out on visiting loved ones or cancel vacations they saved for years to take due to the massive backlog.
