Damn, I keep forgetting to get a new one in case I fall into money and can travel abroad.
I did the beta version last month. It was 10 days from hitting submit to getting it in the mail. Standard processing. Hopefully they're able to keep processing times similar with the roll out.
- Did you have to submit a new picture or did they reuse your old one? Mine is coming due in 6 months.
  
  Not OP, but yes, I had to submit a new picture. You're able to take and submit it from your phone, same guidelines. I also got mine in about 2 weeks.
I did mine about a month ago. Very smooth and fast. Took under 10 days if I remember right.
