At first glance, it would appear so but if you check the FAQ where they list the number of current passport renewal applications and how many they get through per week, right now there's about a ~8 week wait. Long, but not a year.
I guess I formed this opinion since I have to apply in person for my childrens' renewals.
Ah yeah, good luck with that. They want nothing to do with in-person renewals right now.
I got mine to travel to the US in the end of March. Yeah...
