A Stolen Passports Can Be Devastating

An individual that wakes up one morning in the middle of a trip to find their passport gone can find their entire vacation or business trip in tatters

. This will prohibit any travel to any other countries on their itinerary and maybe even hamper their return home by delaying it for quite some time. This can cost an individual quite a bit more money than was budgeted for a trip in extending their stay and in the replacement of the stolen passports.

There are service providers that can help to expedite replacing a stolen passport in as little as one day's time. These services may be found by going online and doing a quick search. There all the websites will be found detailing how quickly one can be replaced and how much it will cost, depending on the time frame.

These online services have a wealth of information and forms posted on their Web sites. They will require that the applicant complete the government forms for passport application and stolen passport reporting. The companies usually require an applicant to complete an order form and possibly a confidentiality form. Each of the forms may be downloaded and printed wherever the traveler may be.

Along with the standard forms, there will be a need to provide identification proving not only who you are but also the travel itinerary. These are simple and should be items that are handy like a driver's license and plane tickets. They will request secondary items of proof but these are easily faxed to the hotel or a local copy shop, if necessary.

Two identical color pass port photos measuring 2x2 inches must also be provided. The photos must be recent and taken from a full front view. There are requirements regarding permitted attire so it is best to refer to these guidelines or have a professional photographer take the photos, in order to make sure that they will be usable.

The documents, photos, and forms must be sent to the processing company in one package. The package should be mailed via a carrier that offers a tracking service. The shipment contains highly confidential information, so tracking the package to make sure it arrived safely at the proper destination is recommended.

These private companies charge additional fees for processing passport applications but it is a small price to pay in order to get back home. The fees range from approximately $150 for three-day processing to $300 for next-day processing. These charges are in addition to the government fees for passport processing. Several forms of payment are accepted, so the traveler should not have a problem making payment as long as the funds are available.
