It depends on number of people waiting to be processed. The actual printing and photo takes about 20 minutes. At my local Biometrics office, which serves Sacramento and Northern California, most people are in and out in less than 30 minutes.

BTW, for those who have changed their last name after marriage:
they instruct to bring only a photo ID and the appointment notice with you and nothing else. However you have to bring a copy of the marriage certificate with you since your passport is still under the maiden name.
Well, I might be the only one dummy who didn't guess to do so but it's kinda new for me to use the new name ) Sooo I thinl they should include it in the appointment notice text! special for dummies lol
