Same here. At first I thought they screwed up and sent me back my old one by accident but that I realized that since they didn't ask for another picture, that was the way they had to do it.

I work in HR and see Passports all the time. That's the way it is supposed to be. When you renew (take a new picture, etc. it'll be in your 'new' name.

About how long did it take everyone to get theirs back? I put mine in the mail at the beginning of April and I am still waiting. Our one year anniversary trip is coming up. I don't know who to call to follow-up. I know they received it. I sent it certified and got the card back.

I think it took maybe 6 weeks to get it back? I don't really remember, but it wasn't a super long time....
