Reposting this here from the "first time passport" thread
My witness was called today (a notary public here in the US), and the online tracker now says "Your Passport Book is being printed. Any all documents submitted will be returned separately "
For reference my documents were received on the 21st.
I submitted my birth certificate, a notarized photocopy of my FBR cert, a notarized copy of my US drivers license (front and back), and a bank statement + a thing from my local county for proof of name & address.
I did not send in my US passport. If you
do send in your passport instead of other identity documentation make sure its your actual passport and not a notarized photocopy. They won't accept a copy of the passport. (But they will accept a notarized copy of your drivers license)
Importantly I made sure my Witness followed these instructions when stamping the photocopy of my FBR cert and photocopy of my Drivers license:

Write ‘Certified to be true copy of the original seen by me‘ on the document
Sign and date the document
Print their name under the signature
Add their occupation, address and telephone number.
