The current wait time at most government passport offices may be higher than usual. The holiday weekend is a popular time for travel, and that means a higher volume of passport applications. If you are concerned about getting a passport on time for your trip, you may want to consider using expedited service. The summer is the most popular time for passport applications, so during the holiday times it’s even busier. You can also avoid the long lines by choosing to use a private service.

 

Remember that if you plan to visit the Regional Passport Agency near you, be sure to bring all of the correct documents. If you are unsure what you need, please visit The U.S. State Department website directly. Any mistakes on your application can cause your application to be delayed or even denied.
