Passport Processing Times
Passport Processing Times
Passport processing can take anywhere from 24 hours to 2 months! So how do you decide which processing time is best for you. Well, it all depends on when you plan to travel.
Routine Passport Processing Times
Most passport applicants will use routine processing. This option is for those without immediate travel plans. Routine processing is when the applicant visits a Passport Acceptance Facility (usually a post office of county clerk office). Routine passport processing takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks. Again, this option is best for those that are not in an immediate need of a passport.
Expedited Passport Processing Times
Applicants that plan to travel within the next month or sooner will need a passport faster than 4-6 weeks. Some post offices can expedite with 3 week service, however this is not guaranteed. Expediting your passport application will cost an additional $60 expediting fee, regardless of the expediting method. In order to get a passport in two weeks or less, applicants have two options. The first option is only available to applicants if they live in a major city and can get an appointment at a Regional Passport Agency. Expediting at a Regional Passport Agency is usually processed within a week, with some locations offering passports the same day or next day. The second option is to use a private expediting service like ours. Registered with the U.S. Department of State, a private expeditor can secure your passport in two weeks or less, even as fast as 24 hours.
