The U.S. Department of State offers expedited passport services to U.S. citizens planning to travel abroad this summer, including families going on summer vacations and students participating in study abroad programs. The Department offers convenient options for those who need their travel documents sooner than its standard 4-6 week processing time. 

Expedited passport applications may be submitted at one of over 8,000 acceptance facilities around the country including clerks of courts and U.S. Post Offices. 

First time passports, passport renewals, additional visa pages, and data corrections all qualify for expedited service.  Applicants must pay an additional $60 expedite fee and allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.  

Applicants with urgent travel plans may apply directly at one of the Department’s 26 passport agencies and centers across the country. For more information on obtaining an expedited passport visit, travel.state.gov.
