Passport Applications

If you are traveling abroad, we can help you expedite receipt of your passport. To obtain a U.S. Passport, qualified residents must apply to the U.S. State Department - Bureau of Consular Affairs. Routine processing of a passport application generally takes about 4 to 6 weeks from the time of application. Except in certain circumstances, passports are valid for ten (10) years. Applicants are encouraged to renew their passport at least six (6) months prior to its expiration.
