Traveling To the Olympics? Here’s What You Need to Know about Getting There.
The 2012 Summer Olympics are finally underway in London, England, and many of us from the United States are traveling abroad to catch some of the games.
If you are going to London for the Olympic Games, or traveling overseas for any other reason this summer and are in need of a U.S. Passport soon, Fastport Passport is your place to go! We secure new U.S. Passports for U.S. Citizens aged 16 and over who have never had passports before, children (under the age of 16) who have never had passports or have expired passports, and we also secure renewals for those people who have 10-year passports that are expiring soon or have been expired for less than five years.
We are a private third-party passport expediting service, and we are registered couriers with the U.S. Department of State. This means that we are able to secure new passports for U.S. Citizens that are in need of new passports and are traveling outside of the United States within 14 days or less. We have been in business for 10 years, are A+ rated with the Better Business Bureau, and have enjoyed more than enthusiastic feedback from hundreds of satisfied customers over the years.
If you are a U.S. Citizen aged 16 or older, and have never had a U.S. Passport before, you can order your new passport on our website, and then obtain your new passport through us by following the instructions explaining what forms to fill out and what identification to include with your shipment to us.
If you are 16 or older and have had a passport in the past that was lost or stolen, and need an expedited passport, you will follow almost the same instructions as those obtaining first-time passports, with the exception that you will also fill out and sign a statement regarding how your passport was lost or stolen.
If you are younger than 16, or need to order an expedited passport for a child under the age of 16, you will order a new child’s passport and follow the specific instructions for obtaining a child’s passport in 14 days or less.
If you are a current holder of a U.S. Passport, but it is expired (less than five years) or is about to expire (see my blog on countries’ rules on validity of passports) you can order a Passport Renewal with us, and send in your old passport with a Renewal Application and new passport photos.
We are experts in securing passports for any United States citizen that is in need of a new or renewed passport in 14 days or less. If you are traveling outside of the U.S. for the 2012 Olympic Games or for any other reason, please also remember that it is a good idea to have Traveler’s Insurance. There are lots of reasons why anyone who travels should purchase travel insurance, so please consider purchasing a package carefully before you go abroad with your new or renewed passport.
If you have any questions regarding how to best obtain a new adult’s or child’s passport, how to replace a lost or stolen passport, or how to renew your existing passport, please call us over the phone, visit one of our locations, or visit our website to chat live with a passport expert Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm EST.
