Expedited passport services can speed travel documents to customers


Customers who need new passports sooner than the usual 4-6 weeks needed for normal processing can submit expedited passport applications to USPS Passport Acceptance Facilities around the country.

First-time passports, passport renewals, additional visa pages, and data corrections all qualify for expedited service. Applicants must pay an additional $60 fee and allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.

Applicants with urgent travel plans also may apply directly at one of the U.S. Department of State’s 26 passport agencies and centers across the country. Refer to the Department of State’s website for agency-specific information on what is required for an appointment.

Applicants must call the National Passport Information Center (NPIC) at 877-487-2778 to make an appointment.

Individuals who need passport information should first visit the Department of State’s official website for information on passport requirements, online applications, fees and processing times. This information also is available by calling the NPIC at 877-487-2778 or TDD/TTY at 888-874-7793.
