How to Get Your Passport in a Hurry


Expedited Service
  • Cost, in addition to regular application fees, is $60 per application plus overnight delivery costs.
  • Two-way overnight delivery is strongly suggested.
  • If you mail in - clearly mark Expedited on the envelope.
  • Anyone may request expedited service for any type of application (e.g., first-time applications, renewals, amendments of existing passports, etc.) See:
  • Passport applications sent together or at the same time do not necessarily remain together.
  • Your passport book and/or your passport card may be mailed separately from your returned citizenship evidence.

Note: An application for a passport book and a passport card may be expedited, but the $60 fee will only serve to expedite the book at this time.  The pending production of your passport card, will not serve to delay the issuance and delivery of your passport book or the return of your citizenship evidence.

See http://www.travel.state.gov/passport/get/processing/processing_1740.html for current processing times.

Routine Service
  • Include your departure date on your application.

See http://www.travel.state.gov/passport/get/processing/processing_1740.html for current processing times.
