Expedited Us Passports Will Allow You To Retain Your Upcoming Travel Plans

If you need to get a passport quickly, you can apply for expedited passports

. This service is an option no matter what type of passport you need. You will need to pay an extra $60 beyond the fees that are associated with the particular type of passport you are applying for.

In some situations, an expedited passport application is recommended. For example, it is a good idea if you need to travel in within the next couple of weeks. It is also a good idea if you need to get a visa for a foreign country in less than a month.

Normally, passports can take anywhere from four to six weeks to process. In busier times, it may take up to ten weeks to arrive. Therefore, if your need is any time before that, you may want to consider getting the expedited service just to be safe.

To help ensure that you get your passport quickly, it is recommended that you send your application via overnight delivery and have it sent back the same way. If you do send it by mail, be sure to write EXPEDITE on the front of the envelope. It is also recommended that you send it in a way that is traceable. Regardless of how you send in your application, be sure to package it securely in such a way that it is unlikely to be damaged.

You do not need a particular reason for requesting that your passport be expedited. The service is available for everyone and all types of US passports: child's, name change, renewal or first time. One thing to note is that passports applied for together are not necessarily sent together. In addition, documents that are sent with the application and need to be sent back to you may also be sent separately from the passports.

If you have a life or death situation which requires that you receive your passport sooner than this, do not send in your application for expedited service. Instead, you will need to contact your local passport agency and make an appointment for emergency service. At the time of your appointment, you may need to show proof of the emergency requiring an immediate passport.

You will normally receive your expedited passport within 2 or 3 weeks. For this reason, it is always a good idea to always have a passport that is valid. If you want to travel in fewer than two weeks for something other than an emergency, you might have to cancel your vacation.

Keep in mind that, if your name has been changed such as because of marriage, you will require a new passport reflecting that change. This is important to think about if you are planning an international honeymoon. It may be best not to initiate any paperwork regarding the name change until you are back in the United States.
